Pattern Notes
This slightly cropped, wrap-around sweater is worked from the top, down. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases. After separating for the body and sleeves, the body is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch. Increases are continued on the fronts until both fronts almost match the width of the back; the fronts are then overlapped and knit together to join the body for working the ribbed hem in the round. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round from the top down and finished with ribbing. Finally, stitches are picked up along the fronts and neckband for making a picot trim.
