FROM TOP TO DOWN
You start with the neck and knit raglan. When the raglan is finished, divide the work into sleeves and body.
In this pattern, it pays to change the order and knit the sleeves before the body, so that you can make the most of the yarn in color 32:
Then you can use one ball of color 32 for both sleeves, and the rest of the yarn in this color for the body. This way you get the most out of the yarn – and avoid running out before the sleeve is finished.
