NOTES
Sweater is knit from the bottom up in the round, and body and sleeves joined
at the underarm to work the yoke. Raglan-style decreases are worked first, then short rows are worked for a better fit around the neckline. The colorwork pattern at the yoke incorporates more decreases.
Pattern has options to make either a men’s or women’s sweater. The body is the same for both versions. Women’s version has slightly narrower sleeves and yoke. Charts are worked in Stockinette stitch.
