Construction
Siri Neck is worked in one piece. Start with the ribbing on the front piece and work until the beginning of the neckline. The shoulders are worked separately. Then stitches are cast on between the two shoulder parts and the backside is then worked. The neckline is knitted at last. All rows in pattern are charted.
