The Never Sweater is worked from the top down, seamlessly in an all over stockinette pattern. First, the collar is knit in two by two ribbing and folded, followed by german short rows to shape and raise the back of the neck. Raglan increases are done next to shape the yoke (six stitch raglan as a design feature), with decreases added in the sleeves. The body and sleeves are then finished off with two by two ribbing.
