Construction of the Sweater

The Liv Sweater is knit top-down:
Begin with the turtleneck. From here raglan increases are made toward until the yoke reaches over your shoulders and the sweater has a suitable fit for you.

Place the sleeve stitches on holders and continue knitting the body in the round. Bind off the body, and then work each sleeve individually.
