- Sleeves are separated at the underarms and held on scrap yarn while the body is worked in one piece to the hem.
- Body incorporates A-line shaping and eyelet details.
- Sleeve stitches are transferred to DPNs and worked in the round.
- Neck stitches are picked up and worked in the round to create the trim.
