Monday Sweater Junior

The Monday Sweater Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases to shape the yoke. The neck rib edge is folded and knitted together (to form a double neckband) and short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline and raise the back. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The yoke, body and sleeves are worked on stockinette stitch and finished with a 1x1 rib edge.
