The Takki top is worked top-down in stockinette stitch with integrated buttonholes. The neckline is cast on using an Italian cast-on and then worked in a rib pattern. Raglan increases are worked to shape the yoke. Once the increases are complete, the work is divided into body and sleeves. Both are then continued separately in stockinette stitch, including optional waist shaping with adjustable instructions to help you customize the fit to your body measurements.
