When the yoke is done the sleeves are placed on waste yarn or stitch holders, and the body is worked in the round and ended with a 1X1 rib. The sleeves are placed back on needles, underarm sts are picked up and knitted, worked top down in the round, with decreases, ended with a 1X1 rib. Stiches are picked up from the cast on edge and a hoodie is worked flat bottom up, seamed together at the top. The hoodie trim is a 1X1 rib.
