Mycroft is worked seamlessly from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the raglan yoke is worked top down to sleeve separation. Then the body is worked in rounds down to the hem. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs last. No finishing required. Broken Rib pattern accentuates the upper yoke and the lower body as well as the sleeve cuffs.
