Overview
Our Ginger Sweater is knitted top down on circular needles.
Starting from neckline, after a few rounds in garter stitch, increases are made with kfb stitch along raglans working in the round until we reach the desired width. Then we divide stitches and put sleeve stitches on hold. We continue working body in stockinette stitch in the round to the desired length.
Finally we transfer sleeve stitches back to the needle and work by regularly decreasing stitches from the underarm to the hem.

In case of doubt, I am more than happy to respond to any questions or resolve any concerns you might have.
