This raglan sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a collar that fits close to the neck. You first 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. You end by working each sleeve individually.
