| Job type | Test knit |
| Description | This pullover is worked from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The body and sleeves are worked separately in the round to the base of the yoke, then joined to work the raglan shaping. Sleeve instructions are written to use DPNs, however an alternate method of working small circumferences can be used, such as Magic-Loop, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes. As the yoke decreases, change to a shorter circular needle. There are mirrored cables running along the centre of the sleeves and the front and back. Lace panels are separated by cables on the front and back. Knit with a laceweight mohair and a fingering weight yarn held double but can be knit with a single strand as long as gauge is met.
