Alhambra is a beautifully textured pullover worked seamlessly from the top down.

The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. First a few short rows are worked back and forth to shape the neck. When the neck shaping is complete, the yoke is worked in rounds. A beautiful textured pattern is set up shortly after the final shoulder width is reached. The front and the back are worked in textured pattern, while sleeves are kept in plain Stockinette stitch. At underarm, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the underarm stitches are cast on using your preferred method. Then the textured body is worked in rounds to the ribbing. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work the sleeve in rounds, top down, to the textured cuffs. Neck is left unfinished.
