KAUNO

Kauno is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke and sleeves are shaped with short rows, after which the front and back are worked flat, one at a time, until the bottom of the sleeves. Next, sleeve stitches are cast off on both sides, and the pieces are joined. The body is worked in the round and shaped with decreases.
