This sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke, worked at first back and forth before the work is connected in the middle of the front and knitted in the round.
This sweater has a classic, round neckline which is formed with increases on the front sections of the yoke, before stitches are cast on with the backwards loop method and the front sections are connected. The increases for the neckline are done parallel with the raglan increases on the yoke.
On the front and back sections, a cable pattern is worked from a diagram. The cable pattern continues down the body and transitions into k2, p2 ribbing before the body is cast off.
The arms are knitted in the round in stockinette stitch, with evenly spaced decreases for a
tighter fit.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the opening of the neckline, and a doubled, folded neckband is knitted. The neckband is sewn/knitted down at the end.
