The ALAKA short sleeve shirt is worked seamlessly in rounds from top to bottom. Directly below the neckband, an inverted V eyelet pattern forms a decorative round yoke. The pattern is gradually expanded until the necessary width is reached. Finally, the sleeves and body are separated and continued in sequence, with the lace pattern continuing down the middle of the sleeves.
