This raglan style sweater is worked from the top down in the round. German short rows are used to shape the back of the neckline and sleeves before continuing into the raglan yoke.

Once the desired yoke depth is reached, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and stitches are cast on at the underarms. The body is then worked in the round, with a textured stitch detail that continues down to the hem.

The sleeves are knit one at a time in the round, with decreases worked to create a slightly tapered fit.
