Notes

This pullover is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. The collar is worked first back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. When working back and forth, slip the first stitch of every right-side row purlwise with yarn in front and the first stitch of every wrong-side row knitwise with yarn in back. The collar folds down, so the right side of the collar is the wrong side of the body; therefore, the right side/wrong side designation changes when the body begins.
