Northland Sweater - Paper

The Northland Sweater is worked top down, first back and forth on circular needles to form the neckline, and then in the round on circular needles. The yoke is constructed so that shoulder increases are first worked on the RS and WS. Then sleeve increases are worked, and finally classic raglan increases are worked. The neck rib is finally worked out from the open sts. The sleeves are worked in the round on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. The Northland Sweater is assembly-free.

Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Note that the swatch should be washed and blocked before measuring the gauge, as the suggested yarn will grow in the wash.
