PATTERN NOTES:
The majority of the yoke is worked with circular shaping within the decorative textured stitch pattern. Once the yoke pattern is completed, some short rows are worked to raise the neckline at the back. The yoke is finished with a few raglan rounds for a better fit before separating for body and sleeves.
Body is worked in the round and finished with a split hem. Sleeves are also worked in the round with decreases.
The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.
