BOTTOM-UP VERSION
This version begins with the body, followed by the sleeves. All pieces are then joined together, and the raglan yoke is worked. The sweater is finished with the neckline.
The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan decreases. This method involves starting at the hem of the body and sleeves and joining them together to work the yoke seamlessly in the round. This approach minimises finishing work and creates a smooth, cohesive garment.
TOP-DOWN VERSION
This version begins at the neckline. The raglan yoke is worked first, then the body and sleeves are separated. The body is completed first, followed by the sleeves.
