Humulus is worked seamlessly from top to bottom. First, a few short rows are worked to create a higher back neckline, then the round yoke is worked from top to bottom to the sleeve opening. A few final short rows are worked to form the yoke before the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, then the body is worked in the round to the cuff. The sleeves are worked last, from top to bottom to the cuffs.
