“THIS SWEATER is knitted from the top down in one piece,” says Jennifer Wood. “A compound raglan allows for a more flattering fit, because the rate of increase varies to more accurately follow the shape of the body. It increases more rapidly between the neck and shoulders and at the end to curve around the underarm, but more gradually in the section in between. It is designed with a slight negative ease in the bust and positive ease in the hips. The sleeves can be easily lengthened by adding more rows.”
