The Ramune (Daisy in Lithuanian) Sweater is a seamless raglan knit top-down with wide straight sleeves. After working the colorwork yoke, the sleeves and body are separated, placing the sleeve stitches on hold while the body is worked. The sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles and worked straight. The body and sleeves are finished with 1x1 ribbing and a Ruke bind off.
