The design is worked from the bottom up in reverse stockinette stitch (WS out) with raised stitches along the sides and armholes. Short rows are worked on the shoulders and a rib section is worked sideways on each shoulder, joining the front and back. Stitches are picked up and knitted for a turtle-neck that is worked in rib and finished with an Italian bind-off. The sleeves are worked in reverse stockinette stitch (WS out), and finished with a tight fitting rib cuff and an Italian bind-off.
