- Back and Front: The body is worked flat in pieces. The lower band is knit in rib before transitioning to a Fair Isle pattern for the main section.

Sleeves
- Cuff: Ribbed cuffs transition to Fair Isle patterning.
- Shaping: The sleeves are increased gradually with shaping along the armhole.
Stitch Patterns
- Stocking Stitch (St st): Knit one row, purl one row.
- Rib Stitch: Alternates for a stretchy, comfortable fit in the cuffs and neckline.
Finishing
- Seams: Use mattress stitch to join shoulder, side, and sleeve seams.
- Button Bands: Worked in ribbing and attached to each front edge.
- Neckband: Pick up stitches around the neckline and knit in ribbing to complete.
- Blocking: Lightly block pieces for even stitches and professional finish.
