How it is knitted
Body and sleeves are knitted in the round from 1×1 rib in grey, each with a small band from chart 1, up to the underarms. They are joined and the yoke is knitted in the round from chart 2, with the decreases worked into the chart. The neckband is rib — grey, then white — folded to the inside and sewn down loosely.
