The Calx sweater is knitted top-down and in the round. Firstly, stockinette stitch is worked, forming a soft roll-edge to the neckline. The rest of the neck is worked in half-twisted rib, which leads neatly into the yoke design. Short rows are then worked in pattern to shape the back of the neck before the rest of the yoke is worked in pattern from the chart. The body and sleeves are divided to be worked separately in stockinette stitch, finishing with mirrored decreases to each of the sleeves before the cuffs and hem are worked in half-twisted rib.
