Notes
This pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up—the sleeves and body are joined at the armholes and the yoke is worked in one piece. Keep 2 sts on either side of your chart in MC at all times (there will always be 4 sts in MC at sides of body, raglan lines and up center/inside of sleeves)—when decreasing and increasing be sure to adjust your place in the chart according to where you are in the pattern.
