This sweater is worked top-down in the round, starting with a ribbed collar that is folded and joined to create a double-folded neckline. Short rows are used during the collar section so that the neckline sits comfortably. After the collar, the raglan yoke is worked in two-row stripes, with increases worked along the raglan lines.

Once the yoke reaches the desired length, the sleeves are placed on hold while the body is worked in stockinette with two-row stripes until the desired body length is reached, ending with a 1x1 rib.

The sleeves are then worked on long circular needles using the magic loop technique, decreasing gradually along the length to shape the arm, and finished with ribbed cuffs. The result is a classic, well-fitted top-down raglan sweater with simple colour striping.
