The sweater is raglan pullover and worked from the top down in the round. A simple cable follows the raglan lines and turns into a purl stitch running down the sweater sides to create a fake seam. It is easily adjustable to obtain desired length of body and sleeves. Neck ribbing will be worked after body and sleeves are finished.
