CONSTRUCTION
This top-down raglan pullover is knitted seamlessly, beginning with a folded neck band and a contrast-colour section. German Short Rows are worked to create a higher back neck. The yoke, with defined raglan lines worked in purl stitches, is then knitted in the round to the sleeve separation. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body. The stripe patten begins on the lower body and flows into the ribbed hem. The sleeves feature the same stripe pattern as the body, at the same distance from the separation, and are shaped towards the ribbed cuffs.
