The Grantley Pullover is a classic, top-down, raglan sweater with some extra details. The striped yoke is worked first, short rows to raise the back are worked, then the sleeves and body are separated and worked top to bottom. A subtle garter stitch accent is placed at the raglan sleeve increases and on the front and back bodies.

The instructions are written. Working from the top down allows you to try on the sweater at several different points of construction and modify the body length and/or the sleeve length for a custom fit; these points are noted in the directions.
