This sweater is oversized (it has 15 cm ease) and is super soft and is worked from the top down, holding 2 yarns together. The shoulder and neck line is shaped by using short rows (I prefer German Short Rows), while at the same time working the raglan increases. Since it is a top down knitted sweater you can make the sweater as long or sort as you would like.
