Construction-

This is a raglan style sweater that is worked top down. First the collar is knit, then German short rows are worked to shape the neckline. Then you’ll continue the raglan increases to create the yoke. The yoke is knit quite deep to mimic the proportions of a Babaà sweater. Additional rows are knit in the back before splitting for the sleeves to help raise the back and to create a more oversized roomy fit. There are two sleeve length options to customize the desired fit.
