Great sweater pattern for a beginner!

Elizabeth is a top down seamless pullover sweater with raglan shaping and a fun rolled hem collar! It has a slightly oversized fit with 2 - 2.5” of positive ease. To begin, you work the neckline in rows then join to work in the rnd. Raglan increases are worked throughout the yoke to create the classic raglan shaping. Once you get to the sleeve divide, you will place sleeves onto waste yarn and will continue working the body in the round. The sleeves are worked separately in the round. Collar sts are picked up and worked in the rnd.

Each yoke instructions are written out separately for each size, making it super easy to follow along!
