Construction
This sweater is a raglan sweater, worked top to bottom. You start with a long collar, and proceed to raglan and short row shaping. After this you will divide the sleeves and body to work them separately. The body is a bit cropped in this pattern, if you want to make it longer be sure to buy more yarn. After you made the body you’ll knit the sleeves and then you’re done. The sweater is meant to have about 10 cm positive ease.
