This sweater is made from the top down, starting at the double collar, and then progressing down the neckline with short rows and smooth raglan seams. Designed for a flattering look and total comfort, the yoke is fitted, and the body is looser with rounds of increases at the hemline. After completion, sport it with your favorite jeans, slacks, or a skirt for everyday occasions and living.
