SEAMS
With wrong sides facing you, place front and back panels together.
Seam shoulders using yarn needle, length of yarn and whip stitch. (Photo above shows seaming sides.)
Using same method, seam at side edges.
Suggestions: Leave 4 (4, 5, 5, 7) inches open at bottom side edges (or to your preferred length).
Leave 6 (7, 8, 9, 10) inches open at top side edges for armhole openings.
