To ensure a loose bind-off work a yarn over ndl after approx. every 6th st while binding off at the same time - the yarn over ndl is bound off as well.
Sew sleeves on.
Sew side seams and sleeve seams inside edge sts.

Cord & Pompons: Cut 2 lengths Alaska, each approx. 4-5 m long. Twist a cord with the 2 strands and tie a knot at each end of the cord. The cord should be approx. 1.6 - 2 m long. Starting mid front, insert the cord along the last row of the ribbing [over and under], see photo.
Make 4 pompons in Vienna, 2 @ 5.5 cm in diameter and 2 @6.5 cm in diameter. Fasten the 2 larger pompons in the cord ends and sew the 2 smaller ones onto hair-elastics.
