No Frills Sweater

The No Frills Sweater is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch with raglan increases to shape the yoke. First, the neck edge is worked, then short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline and raise the back. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch, and both are finished with a rib edge. Knit a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge. Remember to wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.
