Everyday Drift is knit from the bottom up, beginning at the lower hem and worked in the round to the armholes, where front and back are worked back and forth separately to the shoulders. Shoulders are joined, then sleeves are picked up directly from the body and shaped with short rows before being knit in rounds down to the cuff. The neckline is finished with an applied ribbed placket and a collar worked in graduated needle sizes to encourage natural flare.
