Lita is worked in one piece from the top down. First, epaulets are worked separate for each shoulder, and then stitches are picked up along one edge, cast on, and picked up along the edge of the other epaulet. These stitches are worked down flat, and joined to work in the round at the underarm. All body shaping occurs in the back. Unless otherwise noted, slip all markers as you come to them.
