Beats Sweater is a classic raglan sweater in jacquard with double rib edges.

The sweater is worked top-down. The work starts at the neck, working back and forth in stockinette stitch with raglan increases and increases at the front of the neck. It is then worked in the round, continuing with increases at the raglan stitches.

The yoke is worked according to chart until it is divided for body and sleeves.

The rest of the body is worked in a pattern according to the chart and finished with a rib, ending with Italian bind-off.

Stitches are knitted up along the neckline and the neck rib is worked. You can choose to make a high rib as the front page photo or a regular round neck.

Stitches are knitted up under the arms and the sleeves are worked one at a time in pattern according to the chart. Decreases are made along 2 stitches on the inside of the sleeves. The sleeves are finished with a rib.
