Knitting (derived from the word ‘knot’) is the process of using two of more needles to create a fabric made of a series of loops.
Loops and loops and more loops makes something wearable.

UPRIGHT & STAND can be knitted in multiple sizes. It is worked in the round from top down. You cast on at the collar, the yoke is worked, sleeve stitches are placed on holder or waste yarn, the body is completed, then sleeves are worked last.
