Black to Black-polo is knitted top down. You will start the project with knitting the back piece to the shape of a rectangle. You will then move on to knitting the shoulder pieces after which the shoulders are joined in to form the front. The front is knitted to the correct length after which the back and front are joined in the round. The body is then knitted to desired length.

The sleeve ends and collar are knitted in the round with ribbing, with stitches picked up from the armholes and the neckline.
