Burgundy Sweater by Joanna Filip

"The sweater is worked from the top down with the raglan increases on the yoke. First, the collar is knitted, followed by the short rows to slightly raise the back of the neck. Once the yoke is done, the body and sleeves are separated. First, the body is knitted in the round, followed by the sleeves. The hem is knitted flat to create a slit on the sides."
