Notes: Dayspring is worked flat and sideways in two pieces. Each piece begins with a sleeve, then continues with the body worked in wedges created with short rows. The two pieces are then seamed at the center front and back with Kitchener Stitch
or an optional visible seam. For simplicity, the first center wedge worked is referred to as the front and the second one as the back, but the front and back shaping is identical.
