Harald’s Shirt

knit from the top down. The yoke is knit in the round in rib and shaped with increases. Body and sleeves are knit in stockinette stitch and finished with a folded edge. The neckband is folded over and sewn to the wrong side with an elastic thread inside – this makes the neckband easy to get over the head as well as keeping it in shape with wear.
