CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, in spiral rounds. Starting at the neckline, the yoke is crocheted with raglan shaping for the sleeves. When the yoke is complete, front and back parts are joined and worked from top to bottom. The sleeves are crocheted directly onto the yoke and worked straight down to the cuff, using a nice texture for the lower sleeve part. This construction allows you to try on as you go and add or reduce length to your liking.
