Notes: Arbus begins at the neckline and is worked sideways with short row shaping to create the top half of the yoke, which is then grafted together and stitches are picked up and worked down with traditional raglan shaping. After the yoke is split for body and sleeves, a panel is worked sideways at the centre front and two short row triangles are created to join the panel to the remaining front stitches. Once those panels are complete, further short rows are worked to fill in the angles and join the work to the live stitches on the back. Work is then picked
up and knit down again in the round to the hem. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round to the cuff. Where only one number is given, this applies to all sizes.
