How it is knitted

The back is worked flat with increases to shape the shoulders, then the armhole is shaped.

The front is picked up at the shoulders and worked separately to shape the neck opening, before the pieces are joined.

The back and front are joined, and the body is worked in the round to the desired length.

The sleeves are picked up around the armhole. The neckband is worked down for a double edge.
