Almost there...

Almost there… is worked seamlessly from the top down. The striped body is worked in Stockinette stitch with a chevron colorwork before the bottom ribbing. The neck is shaped by working short-rows back & forth. The yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. When the yoke shaping is complete, sleeve sts are placed on hold & underarm sts are cast on. The body is worked in the round to the ribbing with a light A-line shaping. Then sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in the round to the end. As this jumper is worked from the top down it is advisable to try it on from time to time to check the length & overall fit. The length & width of the yoke are easily adjustable by adding/ reducing increases, or underarm sts.
