Rockall is a short sleeved polo shirt worked in a simple open mesh stitch allover. It features a three button placket worked integrally in 1x1 rib. The shirt style collar is picked up and worked in 1x1 rib with shaping at the front to create a good fit. Narrow 1x1 rib trims to cuffs and welt. Finished with a three-needle cast off on the outside shoulder seam and three 4-hole buttons to detail. The shirt is worked in rows from the bottom up and seamed in the end.
