The Snowflake Sweater is knit top-down, beginning with a folded collar for a clean, structured neckline. The yoke is worked with raglan increases on sleeves and body, while simultaneously working color work charts. After the yoke is complete, the body and sleeves are separated and worked in the round, continuing color work charts. Both are finished with ribbed edges.
