PATTERN NOTES

This sweater is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. A section of wrap and turn short rows are worked at the back hem to help with fit. Neck edge and sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternate method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes.
