NOTES

The shirt is worked from the top down. Back is knit first, with short row shaping for the neck and shoulders. Stitches are picked up at the shoulders to knit the fronts with German short row shaping for the neck and shoulders. Fronts and back are joined to work the body in a flat to the hem. Stitches are picked up at the armhole to knit the sleeve in the round to the cuff with short row shaping for the shoulder cap. The collar is picked up and worked at last. Choose the size with 10-18” / 25-45 cm cm of positive ease.
