This sweater is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. A small section of short rows is worked at the back of the neck for a more relaxed fit. The yoke is first worked back and forth to create a back opening and then is joined to work in the round to the underarm. 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. An optional knitted neck ribbon is slipped through the neckband opening and a bow is tied at the back.
