METHOD

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases. You start by casting on stitches for the neckline and work the neckline ribbing. You then continue to the cable pattern and yoke, and a few short rows are worked for a better fit. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold while you work the body and hem. Sleeves can be worked using the Magic Loop technique or with double pointed needles.
