NOTE: leave a few cm of yarn in case you need to adjust length of trim when you stitch it in place 

TO MAKE UP

Join raglan shapings, side and sleeve seams. Fold under two sts at front edges and hem lightly in place. Beginning at left front, tack yoke trim to first row of yoke, adjusting length of trim if necessary and using the last marked section to form a loop for button. Leaving two sts at each end of fronts free, stitch trim lightly in place - you may find it useful to use an oddment of finer, toning yarn to do this. Sew button to left front edge.
