Playground Shirt is a very good project to learn top down raglan construction.

The shirt is completely seamless, knitted in the round and top down. The basic design allows you to use your imagination. You can easily add color work (some are provided in the pattern), embroidery, cables, work with several colors (good way to use your left over yarns)… sky is the limit.
