Construction:
Pullover is knitted in the round in rib 1x1 from the top down, some short rows are done for back shaping after the collar. Yoke is knit with a modified saddle shoulder/raglan sleeve, beginning by working increases at the Front nd Back only, then working increases at the sleeves only, then finally working increases at the Front, Back, and sleeves at the same times. After separation for body and sleeves underarm sts are cast on. Body is knit straight to rib hem. Each raglan has a 10 stitches border or band and there are no increases in that band. So it goes: Back, 10sts raglan, sleeve, 10sts raglan, Front, 10sts raglan, sleeve, 10sts raglan.
