METHOD:
The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. You start by casting on stitches for the neckline ribbing and then continue to the cable chart section and raglan increases. Few short rows are worked for a better fit. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you work the body and hem. Sleeves are worked last using the Magic Loop technique or with double-pointed needles.
