This raglan sweater is worked flat with the three listed yarns held together throughout, and from the top down. You first work an i-cord cast on edge. Then, you work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. The entire length of the cardigan edge is worked with an i-cord edge for a flush look. When you finish the body, you work each sleeve individually. You finish by picking up stitches along the length of the collar and body panels to work a button band, including buttonhole placement.
