NOTES
The Body is worked first in the round from the bottom up in a chevron pattern and set aside as the Sleeves are worked. The Yoke is continued from the Body and the Sleeves are joined in. Cuff and Hem Ribs are added afterwards, working onto the foundation ch.
The Yoke is started by working htr sts in the round in a spiral and then continued with a chevron pattern in turned rounds, while working decreasing for the Yoke. There are more spiral htr rounds before working the collar in turned rounds of post stitches.
