Hacky Sack Hoodie: Lapped Collar Walkthrough

I received a very good question about the Hoodie’s instructions:

In the body/neck section, when you start slipping stitches onto a dpn, what exactly is supposed to be happening?

That part of the pattern creates the overlapped collar, and also serves to join the two ends of your knitting so that you can continue in the round. I think that the directions in that part are much easier to understand with some illustrations, so I made the following walkthrough of that part of the pattern.

There’s also thisblack and white PDF of the walkthrough , if you’d prefer to print it out and stick it in your book for reference.
Figure 131 is my tallest figure to date.
