Construction Plan
Hayst is knit from the top down. The back is provisionally cast on and knit to the underarms. Stitches are then picked up from the provisional cast-on and shoulder straps are knit back and forth. The neckline is shaped and the two front halves are joined at the centre before joining back and front under the arms. The body is then knit in the round to the hem. Stitches are picked up around the armholes for a twisted rib edging. Stitches are picked up first in the front for the Henley placket and then for the neckline, and finished with twisted rib.
