Diaphane is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up. The two fronts and back pieces feature a twisted rib hem and an Intarsia pattern creating fine eyelet bands. German short rows shape the shoulders which are then joined using a three needle cast off. The body sides are seamed using mattress stitch. Stitches are picked up along part of the fronts to work the buttonbands in twisted rib. The shirt collar is picked up on top of the buttonbands as well as around the rest of the neckline and is worked straight in twisted rib until desired length and shape. Finally, stitches are picked up around the armholes to work the sleeves, shaping them with German short rows and finishing with a twisted rib cuff.
