The two sides of the yoke are worked separately. After the armholes are shaped, the work is joined to work the body in the round. Rib edges at the body and neck are worked in a 1x1 rib with twisted purl stitches for a neat rib. Sleeves are worked one at a time. Stitches are picked up around the selvedge of the armholes and the short sleeve is worked in the round to preferred length ending with a short rib. *Note! Since the rib is the only embellishment, it is crucial that it is worked tightly and evenly.*
