Procedure: The sweater is knitted in the round, top-down. It is cast on using a provisional cast-on, so the size of the neckline can be adjusted afterwards. Short rows are worked across the shoulders and neck at the beginning to create a higher neckline. The yoke is knitted with increases in raglan. Then the work is divided, and sleeves and body are knitted separately. The sleeves are knitted in the round. The sweater is tried on, and the provisional caston is undone to knit the neckline.
