You start working the first part of the yoke back and forth across the shoulders and back to shape the neck opening with increases. Afterwards, you cast on stitches for the front and join work to continue the yoke in the round. Work is later divided at the underarms, and body and sleeves finished separately in the round with ribbed edges. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and the neckband finished in rib.
