Button bands are incorporated while knitting the fronts, and stitches for the collar are picked up afterward, which is elegantly finished with an I-cord bind-off for a polished edge. The sides are seamed with a 5-inch vent at the hem and features openings for the arms, giving you freedom of movement.
