The Silvan Sweater is worked in the round, bottom-up, with rolled edges on the ribbing. The body and sleeves are worked separately before being joined on the same needle. The pattern from the sleeves and body continues up the yoke and is separated by the raglan decreases. When you reach the neckline, stitches are bound off at the center front, and the sweater is then worked back and forth. Finally, stitches are picked up for the hood, which is finished with a picot edge.
Happy knitting!
