The Whisky Sour shirt is knitted flat with raglan sleeves. First, a faux “double-knitting” collar is knitted in the round from an invisible cast-on. Short rows are worked into the collar and at the start of the body to lengthen the back. The button band is added last by picking up stitches along the front edge.
