A raglan yoke sweater with textured cable knit sleeves

This raglan yoke sweater is knit from the top down and in the round. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. The back panel includes short rows near the back neckline. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. The pattern includes optional bust darts for shaping. You end by working each sleeve individually. The arm panels feature a fisherman’s rib cable pattern that carries down the entire sleeve.
