This raglan yoke sweater is knit using the two strands of yarn listed held together throughout the piece. The sweater is worked from the top down and flat for the beginning of the yoke, then joined and knit in the round. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels.

When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to work the body of the sweater down to the waist. When you reach the waist and before the bottom ribbing, you work pleats in the front and back to cinch the waist together and finish with some ribbing. Then, you pick up stitches along the cast on edge to knit the collar. You end by working each sleeve individually.
