The Beachcomber Sweater is a seamless raglan worked from the top down, in
the round, with neck shaping worked after the collar. The sleeve stitches are held while the
body is worked. Sleeve stitches are then picked up and worked in the round. The sweater is
worked in a broken rib pattern and has a lightweight feel to it, perfect for fall weather!
