3. SEW THE OUTSEAMS

3a. With the knitting right-side out, match the middle 2 stitch markers (on the cast-on edge) with the 2 ends of the bind-off edge.

Use an invisible vertical-to-horizontal graft to seam the cast-on edge to each selvedge. These seams begin at the waist, where the bind-off and cast-on stitches are matched, and end at the cuffs, where the remaining stitch markers meet the corner of the selvedge and cast-on edge.

3b. Every 3 or 4 stitches, graft to 2 rows instead of 1.

3c. Thread 18" of thin elastic or two 35" lengths of yarn through every other stitch just below the cast-off edge. Sew the ends of the elastic together, or tie the lengths of yarn into a bow.
