This pattern features bottom-up construction; the body is worked from the hem to the underarms, then the sleeves are worked up from the wrist to the underarm, and then the pieces are joined together for the Raglan style yoke shaping. The sweater features two neckline options - a higher, funnel-neck and a lower, ballet or boatneck style. The sweater is designed without shaping and is intended to be worn fitted.

This pattern features written instructions, a schematic, and charts for the cable stitch patterns.
