There is a ribbed open V-placket collar finished with a hood trimmed to complement the body and sleeves. Sleeves are knit in the round following the same stitch pattern as the body and the natural rolled hems make for a relaxed feel. Tips are included to extend the wear for a growing child.

The sleeves are knit in the round and joined with the upper body stitches with raglan decreases, and the project is finished with a rolled neck.
