First, the folded neckband is worked in 1 x 1 Rib and finished with a welt. The increases of the compound raglan are worked together with the back and front neck shaping using German Short Rows, first over each shoulder separately to shape the back neck, then over both shoulders and the back to shape the front neck. When the raglan is finished, the body and sleeves are separated. Side decreases are worked to shape the body before working another welt and finishing the hem with 1 x 1 Rib. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and sleeve shaping is done using decreases. The sleeves are finished with a welt and 1 x 1 Rib.
