CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked from the top down. First the sts for the back of the neck are cast on and the neckline is shaped by working back and forth and increasing the number of sts at both sides, while at the same time working raglan increases. After this, the work is joined to be worked in the round and the raglan increases are continued to the bottom of the armholes, where the sts are divided for body and sleeves, which are finished individually.
The edges are worked in rib – incl. the neck edge which is worked at the end using an open cast-on over try-it-on-tubing.
