CONSTRUCTION

• The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The top portion of the yoke is worked in a clustered rib pattern, with circular yoke increases. For the remainder of the yoke, the clustered rib pattern is continued along the top of the sleeves and the rest of the stitches are worked in stockinette stitch, with raglan increases. The body is worked circularly to the hem, then the sleeves are worked circularly to the cuffs.
