The body is worked flat. After the yoke shaping is finished, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked straight to the hem. Placement of the pockets is marked using scrap yarn. The double-knitted front band is worked along the front edges. The pockets are worked in the round and finished with a crochet trim. The sleeves are worked in the round.
