Astrid is worked from the top with increases on both sides of the marked shoulder stitches. When the required shoulder width is reached, the work is divided, and the front and back pieces are worked separately.
After dividing, the pattern is worked according to the chart for the yoke and the body. The body is finished with a high ribbed edge that is finished with Italian bind off.
Stitches are picked up along the armholes and the sleeves are worked from top to bottom. The sleeve cap is shaped with short rows. The sleeves are knitted exclusively in the main color.
