How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up. Hem and cuffs are 6 or 7 cm of K1, P1 rib in ash heather (the pattern’s light gray) on 4.5 mm; on 6 mm comes a 10-round border of black zigzags on ash heather and white, then white stocking stitch to the underarms. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke — a 43-round chart with five decrease rounds: black spikes rising from the white, black zigzags on a light grey ground, a band of small white diamonds, and black and white stitches on grey up to the neck. The smaller sizes skip a few rounds. The neckband is 8 cm of K1, P1 rib in ash heather on 4.5 mm double-pointed needles, folded in half to the inside and sewn down, and the underarm stitches are grafted.
