Description from pattern: “Take a texture break. Here the yoke is raglan-shaped, and colors are used one at a time--purls and slipped stitches do the blending.”

Summary: All sections of the pattern are knit flat. The body and sleeves are joined before knitting the yoke. All seams are sewn after the knitting is finished. Sweater has pockets.
