Techniques

Knitting, purling, simple decreases, slipped stitches, picking up stitches, grafting live stitches together

Construction

Starting with a circular yoke, straps are worked individually using simple decreases and slipped stitches. Live stitches from yoke are held as the body is worked from the bottom up. Live yoke stitches are grafted to live stitches at the front and back neckline, and live stitches at the shoulder are the beginning of a simple set-in sleeve.
