This pattern is worked from the neck down in one piece, starting with a provisional cast on. The shoulders are formed with short rows, then the yoke is worked based on the chart appropriate to the size you are working. The body is worked without further shaping, ending with a ribbed hem. The arms are worked from stitches set aside after working the yoke. Finally, the provisional cast on at the neck is removed and those live stitches are worked to create the collar.
