Itis
CONSTRUCTION OF THE DESIGN
The pullover is worked top down in the round. You begin by casting on at the back, working raglan shaping in the textured pattern to create the upper backpiece. After completing the back neck shaping, you continue to working the raglan shaping and texture for the rest of the yoke towards the underarm.
Next, the yoke stitches are divided to sleeves and body with additional cast-on stitches. Once the division is complete, you continue working the body in Stockinette Stitch and textured patterns towards the hem. After completing the main body, you finish with ribbing for the hem.
The live sleeves stitches are worked with the additional cast on stitches picked up from the underarm and worked in Stockinette Stitch and textured patterns in the round. After shaping the sleeves with decreases and knitting to the desired length, the cuffs are worked in ribbing. Lastly, you work the ribbing for the neckline.
