Knitted in the round from the bottom up. Hem and cuffs are 1×1 rib in the contrast colour, followed by a 7-round colour band; body and sleeves then continue plain in the main colour to the underarm. They are joined for the round yoke, knitted from a 44-round chart with five decrease rounds. The neckband is a long 1×1 rib, folded in half to the inside and sewn down. The underarm stitches are grafted.
