A classic raglan sweater with a yoke in jacquard, which makes a transition between the top and bottom colour.

The sweater is worked top-down. It starts at the neck, working back and forth in solid colour stockinette stitch with raglan increases and increases at the front of the neck. It is then worked in the round, continuing with increases at the raglan stitches. 

The yoke is knitted according to chart until it is divided for body and sleeves.

The pattern chart continues on the body. Stockinette stitch is worked to the final length. You can choose to add additional length at the back by working short rows. The body is finished with a rib edge and Italian bind-off.

Stitches are knitted up along the neckline and neck rib is worked. You can choose to make a turtle neck as on the front page photo or a round neck with folded rib.

Stitches are knitted up under the arms and the sleeves are worked one at a time in pattern according to chart. Decreases are made along 3 stitches on the inside of the sleeves. The sleeves are finished with rib.
