After working sleeves, body and sleeves are joined and the raglan yoke is worked back and forth across all stitches. The front neckline is then shaped working short rows.

KONSTRUKTION
Modellen strikkes nedefra og op, og ribben er strikket frem og tilbage på rundpind. Efter ribben fortsættes der i glatstrikning på rundpind til ærmegabet, hvor masker under hvert ærme sættes i hvil til ærmegab. Nu strikkes begge ærmer. Ærmer og krop samles på rundpinden, og der strikkes frem og tilbage med vendestrikning for at forme halsudskæringen. I starten tages der ind alle 4 steder, hvor krop og ærmer mødes. Efter vendestrikningen fortsættes der rundt på rundpind og i mønsterstrikning. Her foregår indtagningerne i mønsteret.
