This raglan yoke sweater dress or sweater is drafted as a choose your own adventure if you would like to make a sweater dress or a sweater. The sweater dress includes waist shaping and ¾ length sleeves and the sweater does not include waist and hip shaping and has full sleeves, but you can mix and match. The suggested yardages for the sweater dress and sweater assume the shaping and sleeve lengths listed above for each so adjust your yardages accordingly if you deviate from the pattern.

This design is knit from the top down and flat for the beginning of the yoke, then joined and knit in the round. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater dress or sweater down to the waist. The sweater dress includes waist and hip shaping to give a fitted look. Once you finish the body, you pick up stitches along the cast on edge to knit the collar. You end by working each sleeve individually.
