This sweater is worked in the round from the hem to the armholes, then back and front are worked separately to the end of raglan shaping. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff to the armholes, then back and forth to the end of raglan shaping. The pieces are joined together for the yoke, which is worked in the round through the neckband. Finally, the raglan seams are sewn together.
