Notes
This raglan pullover is worked top-down in striped Stockinette stitch as follows: Front neck shaping is worked back and forth, then additional stitches are cast on in the front and it is joined to work in the round. After the raglan yoke is complete, the sleeves and body are separated. The body is worked in the round until the shaped hems, where it is once again worked back and forth. Sleeves are worked in the round. The neckband and the I-Cords at the hem are picked up and worked afterwards.
