Pattern workflow:

Milo is worked from the top down. Inspiration for the construction is from the Cokoknits workshop book, with German short rows instead of increases for the back shoulder shaping.

Firstly, the top part of the back yoke is worked back and forth, with German short rows, then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the cast on edge.
Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders. Then increases are made to shape the sleeves, front neckline and body.
The yoke is worked back and forth until underarms, where the sleeves will be placed on hold while underarm stitches and front Henley stitches are casted on for joining the body in the round.
The body is worked in the round and ended with a 1x1 rib.

The sleeves are placed back on needles and underarm stitches are picked up and knitted to join the sleeve in the round, ending with a 1x1 rib.

The neckband is picked up and worked in a 1x1 rib with button holes for the Henley.

At the same time a striped pattern is being worked.
