After completing the yoke, the stitches are divided for the body and sleeves. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is worked back and forth to the hem. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges to create ribbed button bands with integrated buttonholes.
