First, the back is worked flat with shaped shoulders. Then front panels are then worked with shaping for both the collar and then the buttoned closed placket is shaped. The body is connected and worked in-the-round. Sleeves caps are shaped using short-rows and then the sleeves are worked in-the-round. **The Classic Knit Polo** includes 20 sizes with a finished chest circumference of 32" to 70" (81.5 to 178 cm). This pattern also features gender-inclusive sizing. For each of these 20 sizes, two sizes are graded based on shoulder widths, which is one of the primary ways bodies proportionally vary for those with the same chest size. This means there are 40 unique sizes in this pattern. Choose to make the Narrow Shoulder size if the recipient finds that the shoulders on womenswear garments fits them well or the shoulders of menswear garments are too wide. Make the Broad Shoulder size if the recipient finds that the shoulders on menswear garments fits them well or the shoulders on womenswear garments are too narrow. This pattern includes lots of options. The polo is one of the most iconic piece of menswear and basically every ready-to-wear fashion label has put out their own version of it. **The Signature Knit Polo Collection** is intended to empower you to make your own unique and ideal polo. Here is list of all the options presented in the pattern: * 6 different cup sizes for horizontal bust darts for those with 2" (5 cm) of difference or greater between their upper bust and full chest. * 3 different placket widths * 3 different placket lengths * 2 different placket construction styles * 2 different sleeve styles (short sleeves and full length) * Tapered hip shaping for a more fitted-looking silhouette **View full schematics, sizing guide, and options explanation here:** [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XTRHMNZTsNi1iLh--sTAU9m3uqjYS7e-/view?usp=sharing][2] **Sizes** 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) [11, 12, 13, 14, 15] {16, 17, 18, 19, 20} **Measurements** Finished chest measurement: 34 (38, 42, 46) (50, 54, 58) (62, 66, 70)”/86.5 (96.5, 106.5, 117) (127, 137, 147.5) (157.5, 167.5, 178) cm.
