This sweater is a classic Raglan top, worked top down in one piece. After casting on stitches for the neckline, the yoke starts with 4 raglan lines. Front, Back and Sleeves are formed by increasing stitches along raglan lines. At underarm level the stitches for the sleeves are put on hold and the rest of the sweater is finished in the round. Then the stitches for the Sleeves are picked up and knit around the armhole and worked in the round down to the cuffs. Front of the sweater has a twisted cable pattern.
