This project is worked in the round from the top down.

The yoke will be divided into sections, (back, front, and sleeves) by the raglan increases, so it will not be possible to work the texture stripe pattern continuously around the yolk. Begin the pattern at the start of the round, work to the end of each section, then resume the pattern where you left off as well as possible at the start of the next section.

At the beginning and end of the yoke sections, as well as during waist and sleeve shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a decrease with its companion yarnover, work the remaining stitch in stockinette instead.
