“Teddy” is a Raglan Sweater, which is worked seamlessly, top down in one piece. After working on the turtle neck in the round, the yoke is worked in short rows. Once the short rows are finished, the yoke is knitted in the round and formed by making increases along the Raglan lines until the underarms, then stitches divided on Sleeves and Body. The Sleeves stitches are placed on hold while Body is worked down in the round, making decreases on the sides. The stitches for the Sleeves are picked up from the armhole and they are worked in the round down to the hem. The sweater is cropped and has straight wide sleeves.
