Wooly Roger is lovely soft sweater with a fun stranded colourwork pattern, twisted rib details and a soft, folded rib neck edge. The sweater is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth, while the neckline is shaped, then the work is joined in the round and the rest of the sweater is worked in the round. If you follow the instructions for the yoke carefully, the stranded pattern and the raglan increases become symmetrical and meet correctly at the armholes.
