Sweater 2

This off-shoulder sweater is knitted top-down with raglan increases. Short rows are worked at the back of the neck to raise the back. Raglan increases continue throughout the yoke. The neckline is worked before the yoke is complete. The neckline is shaped to be wide enough to easily slip off one shoulder, while still fitting securely.

The yoke is then knitted to the desired length before dividing the work into sleeves and body. The sleeves are worked long and with a comfortable width. The neckline, sleeves, and body are finished with 2x2 rib (k2, p2). All ribbed edges are worked using a smaller needle for a tighter, more defined edge.
