“Beginning behind the right shoulder, the square yoke is knitting first, and can be tried on as you go. The body may be worked in garter stitch (front and back knit separately), or Stocking stitch in the round. The perpendicular lower edge is knitted onto the body” Elizabeth Zimmermann Knit One Knit All.

Worked on a 24” circular needle and one pair of straight needles in the size you need to achieve gauge.
