The raglan sleeve sweater is crocheted from the top down using two yarns held together. Stitches are increased at the raglan corners of the yoke, and chain stitches create ease at the armholes. The bodice continues straight from the armholes to the hem, while the sleeves are worked in the round from the yoke towards the cuff, gradually decreasing evenly. Sleeve cuffs and hem are finished with sturdy borders. Short rounds are worked at the back neckline, and a narrow ribbing neatly finishes the neckline.

The shorts are crocheted from the top down using the same yarn duo. A ribbing is worked at the waist, where the pants begin. Shape and fit are achieved by increasing stitches in the front, back, and sides, with chain stitches at the crotch for freedom of movement. The short legs are worked straight and finished with narrow borders.
