The sweater is knitted top-down in the round starting from the ribbed or crocheted neckline (Both knit and crochet version are given in the pattern). The transparent look of the raglan yoke is achieved by holding the yarn single, for the body and sleeves you hold the yarn double. The 3D effect is achieved by knitting in k1p1 rib throughout. You can pick up the volume additionally with a crochet hook or just finish off with a knitted k1, p1, rib. Combine the colors and single and double held yarn as you please. This is a stash busting project - make it your own!

Besides, it is an easy top-down raglan construction with 20-40cm (8-16in) of positive ease that will suit many body shapes and styles.
