CONSTRUCTION
The front and back body are worked sideways in a pattern of stockinette stitch with garter ridges. Short rows are worked so the space between the garter ridges is narrower closer to the yoke. When the body has been completed, stitches are picked up and knitted along the top of it, and the yoke with the front placket is worked from these stitches. Short rows are worked at the shoulders and the shoulders are knitted together.
The design has a rib collar and little cap sleeves, which are worked separately and sewn on.
