This raglan yoke sweater is knit using the lace weight yarn held throughout with the MC and CC alternating according to the Mosaic Pattern. This sweater is knit from the top down and flat for the beginning of the yoke, then you join to begin working in the round for the remainder of the yoke. The yoke includes a back body panel, two front panels, and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. Then, you pick up stitches along the cast on edge to work the collar. You end by working each sleeve individually.
