How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up. The body starts with light denim 1×1 rib and a few centimetres of light denim, then a 9-round zigzag band in indigo, white and light denim, and continues in indigo to the underarm. The sleeves are light denim all the way up, with the same zigzag band just below the underarm. They are joined for the round yoke in indigo, knitted from a 34-round chart with four decrease rounds, with a white zigzag near the top and light denim to the neck. The neckband is 1×1 rib in light denim, and the underarm stitches are grafted.
