PATTERN INFORMATION
The Thekla Polo is worked from the top-down in reverse stockinette stitch with narrow stripes in two colors. The collar and yoke are worked back and forth using short rows and raglan increases. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch so that the knit side faces outward. Color changes are made on the right side to avoid visible joins. Finally, the work is turned inside out so that the purl side with the neat stripes is visible, and button bands are added along the front panels.
