This is a top down raglan sweater design. If you know how to make a beanie you are basically set to make this sweater. First you cast on a set amount of stitches and join in the round to make the ribbing. Then you change to the bigger needles and separate your design into 4 quadrants with stitch markers ( 2 smaller ones for sleeves, and two larger ones for the front and the back). You then make the different quadrants grow by increasing by one stitch before and after every raglan stitch. Once you’ve reached a certain length for each quadrant, you separate the sleeve, place them on waste yarn, and continue knitting the body. Once you have completed that, you go back to the sleeves and thats it!!
