Notes

This sweater is knit from the bottom up, beginning with the sleeves. Once the sleeves have been knit to the underarms, they are set aside and the body is knit to the underarm. The body and sleeves are joined and finished with raglan shaping, short rows, and collar. The underarms are finished with seaming.
