Theirs Polo is a timeless and genderless design. It has 8 relaxed fit sizes for women and 6 basic fit sizes for men. You can choose the length of the body and sleeves from short, regular, and long, respectively.
It is worked from top-down. Although this pattern has a lot of short rows, increasing and decreasing, it is easy to knit because it is worked flat until under sleeves.
Note: If you use heavy weight or plant based yarns, ribs tend to stretch, which may result in larger collars and necklines.
This pattern is not for beginners. However, row by row instructions are given for all sections and illustrations are included in various places. Also, links to Purl Soho’s helpful tutorial videos are indicated in the stitch glossary and main texts as needed.

I hope you enjoy knitting this pattern in your own style, which is full of my passion and love for clothes.
