Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons with this easy but intricate-looking sweater! Sweater is worked from top down; you cast-on and start working flat to shape front neck drop, while at the same time you work your raglan increases. Then you join in the round and keep knitting the yoke. At any time from this point on, you can pick up sts around neck and work your collar in order to be sure that you’re in love with your neck shape and see the final result when you try your sweater on as you go (and trust me: you want to try it on as much as you can! That’s the beauty of knitting a sweater top down). When the yoke is done, sleeve sts are placed on hold on waste yarn and the body is completed. Then you knit your sleeves…and you’re done!
