CONSTRUCTION
This raglan sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It features a traditional Guernsey ladder motif. The neck is worked flat before joining in the round to work the yoke and body. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuffs. The Icelandic Bind-Off method is used for a stretchy, neat bind-off edge. The hem, collar and cuffs are finished with ribbing and Stockinette Stitch that creates a rolled edge.
