Notes: Woodwardia is worked top down in the round with raglan increases and optional short rows at the neck. At the underarm, sleeve stitches are put on hold and the body is worked in one piece. This pattern provides instructions for two hem options, a straight hem or a split hem. The sleeve stitches are picked up and sleeves are worked down in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and either a short neckband, a high neckband or a folded neckband is completed.
Note: The shorter neckband sits better when the optional short rows have been worked during the yoke shaping. This pattern is a template for a single-colour pullover and does not include instructions for colour-blocking. Please
consider the ‘sample notes’ for each example if you are
planning to replicate one.

Instructions for straight hem, alternative necklines, short rows at the neck and colour blocking are included in the Ready Set Raglan edition only. The version published in Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 28: Spring 2019 includes instructions for a split hem and a folded neckband.
