It begins with the collar, which is worked flat with short rows, followed by increases for shaping. The back is then worked flat, with increases to shape the shoulders. Stitches are picked up along the sloped edges of the back, and the right and left front sections are worked separately, with increases to shape the neckline. The pieces are then joined, and the yoke is worked flat to create the edges for the button bands, while simultaneously increasing for the sleeves and along the raglan lines. Next, the button bands are worked in double knitting, after which the yoke is joined to work in the round. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on, and the body is worked in the round. Finally, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles, stitches are picked up at the underarms, and the sleeves are worked in the round with decreases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 in\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eThe Chantal Polo has a relaxed fit and is designed with approximately 10–20 cm\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4–8 in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof positive ease in sizes XS–XL, decreasing to approximately 3–14 cm\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1¼–5½ in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein sizes 2XL–5XL, depending on your bust circumference and chosen size.
