CONSTRUCTION
This garment is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round to the underarm, then placed on hold. Sleeves are worked in the round beginning with the cuff and then joined with the body at underarm for the yoke. The yoke has raglan shaping. Short rows are worked before the yoke’s lace pattern to raise the back of the sweater for a better fitting neckline. The lace pattern is charted and written. Hem, cuffs and neck are worked in 2 x 2 rib. Body and sleeve lengths can easily be adjusted (note that adjustments in length will affect total yardage required).
