This sweater begins with a crocheted collar. Then the yoke is picked up along the lower edge of the collar and worked from the top down with raglan shaping. A small section of short rows is worked at the bottom of the raglan and lower hem for a more
relaxed fit. Sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternate method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes.
