This round yoke sweater is worked top-down with two- or three-color colorwork, after which short rows are used to improve the fit, and additional raglan increases are worked for sizes L–5XL. The sleeves are separated from the body and finished last. The body can be shaped into a slight A-line with increases. The look is completed with non-rolling stockinette edges.
