FROM BOTTOM UP
Here you start with the body, knit the sleeves and join all the pieces together. Then you knit the raglan with the whole piece on the same needle and finish with the neckline.
FROM TOP TO DOWN
Here you start with the neck, knit raglan and divide the work into sleeves and body when the raglan is finished. Then you knit the body first, then the sleeves.
