Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Fall 2006: “For a comfy, swingy pullover that you can wear anywhere, work a seamless raglan in a plush slightly variegated mohair yarn. The body is worked in the round to the underarm, beginning on a large needle and progressing down two sizes to give the sweater an A-line shape. The sleeves are worked back and forth in rows without shaping to the underarm. The body and sleeves are then joined on one needle and the yoke with raglan shaping is worked in the round. The neckline is finished with a brief funnel collar. A deep border in reverse stockinette stitch is the only embellishment.”
