Starting with the ribbed neck edging, you will knit the yoke from the top down. Mostly work in rounds, except for some short rows below the neck edging which scoop the front neck. At the underarm you
will remove the sleeve stitches and continue to work the body, including the bottom rib. Then you will knit the sleeves, finishing with the ribbed cuffs.
