“This bold pullover uses a unique decrease technique to highlight the strong architectural lines of the ribbed raglan yoke. Worked from the bottom up, the straightforward construction provides knitters with sizing and options on both body and sleeves, making it easy to create the fit that’s just right for you. The deep 2x2 ribbed yoke begins below the chest level for a flattering overall proportion, and the pullover’s plain stockinette lower section and simple 1x1 ribbed trims keep the focus on the beautiful shaping details of the yoke. The extra wide raglan lines are not only visually pleasing but also help shape the front and back neckline curve for a more comfortable fit.” — designer, Jared Flood
