The sleeves start with the same eyelet rib, in the round on double-pointed needles. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke: a 36-round chart with four tiers of butterflies — apricot and crimson red, then spring green and heaven blue, on white — big ones at the bottom and tiny ones by the neck, with six decrease rounds. The neckband is 4 rows of K1, P1 rib on 3.5 mm, knitted back and forth. The underarms are grafted, the front is machine-sewn and cut open, and both fronts get 2 rows of single crochet, with 5–7 button loops on the right front.
