The bottom rib edge on the sweater is worked back and forth. Work is then joined and the body is worked in the round to underarms. Here stitches are placed on hold for underarms.
After working sleeves, body and sleeves are joined and the raglan yoke is worked back and forth across all stitches. The front neckline is then shaped working short rows.
Before beginning yoke pattern decreases are made at the four points where body and sleeves meet, but once the patterns commences the decreases are incorporated into the pattern. Here the yoke is joined and worked in the round.
