Burgundy Sweater by Joanna Filip

Construction
'The sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases across the yoke. The neckline is worked first, followed by short rows to slightly raise the back of the neck. Once the yoke is complete, the body and sleeves are separated. The body is worked in the round first, followed by the sleeves. The hem is worked flat to create side slits.'
— Joanna Filip
