CONSTRUCTION METHOD:
Body worked in the round on long circular needle.  Sleeves may be worked flat and seamed or in round on dpn and shorter circular.  The yoke is worked in round on circular needles.

LOWER BODY:  With longer circular needle, CO 42 (46, 52, 56, 62) sts, PM, CO 42 (46, 52, 56, 62) sts, PM, join to work in round being careful not to twist.  Sl markers as you work, they are to mark underarms later.

RIBBING: "K1, P1; repeat from * around.  Work 2 rounds of ribbing.

BEGIN PATTERN STITCH:
Round 1 & 3: Knit
Round 2: Sl1 purlwise with yf, K1, repeat from * around.
Round 4: *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf; repeat from * around.
Cont pattern until piece measures 10 (11, 12, 12, 13)" from beg.  This is a cropped length.  More yarn for more length.
HINT:  While working body, pay attention to how the slipped stitches stagger.  Learning how the stitch pattern looks will help you when shaping the sleeve.  Work remainder of yoke in stockinette (K all rows in round; K right side, P wrong side for back and forth).
K one round as follows: *K until 4 sts from marker, BO next 8 sts, remove marker, repeat from * . Set aside, K sleeves.

SLEEVE MADE IN ROUND: Using dpn, CO 20 (22, 22, 26, 28) sts.  Being careful not to twist, Join and PM.

RIBBING: *K1, P1, repeat from * around.  Work 2 rounds of ribbing.

BEGIN PATTERN STITCH:  Work same pattern body. 1st stitch of round is a "fake seam stitch" which is K every round, NEVER worked in pattern.  Inc every 6th round on each side of fake seam stitch.  Adjust rounds 2 & 4 (pattern stitch rows) as to whether the 1st or 2nd st is slipped.  First inc round is on round 3, then every 6th round.  Here are 1st 12 rounds to get sleeve set up properly:
Round 1, 5, 7, 11 Knit around.
Round 2: K1 (fake seam stitch), *K1, Sl1 purlwise with YF; repeat from * around, end K1.
Round 3: (increase round): K1 (fake seam stitch), Inc 1, K around, Inc 1.
Round 4: K1 (fake seam stitch) *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf, repeat from * around, end K1.
Round 6: K1 (fake seam stitch) *Sl1 purlwise with yf, K1; repeat from * around, end Sl1.
Round 8: K1 (fake seam stitch) *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf, repeat from * around, end K1.
Round 9: (increase round): K1(fake seam stitch). Inc 1, K around, Inc1.
Round 10: K1 (fake seam stitch) K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf, repeat from * around, end K1.
Round 12: K1 (fake seam stitch) *Sl1 purlwise with yf, K1; repeat from * around, end Sl1.
Do not repeat these rounds but cont pattern and inc as established.  Change to 16" circular when needed. Cont inc on each side of fake seam every 6th round until 34 (38, 42, 46, 50) sts.  Work even in pat st until sleeve measures 16 (17, 17, 18, 19)" from beg or desired length.  Knit next round to 4 sts before end of round.  BO next 8 sts.  Place all remaining sts holder.  Knit 2nd sleeve.

SLEEVE KNIT FLAT:  Using circular or straight needles CO 21 (23, 23, 27, 29) sts.  Do not join, Knit back and forth.
Row 1: (WS) *P1, K1; repeat from * across, end P1.
Row 2: *K1, P1; repeat from * across, end K1.

BEGIN PATTERN STITCH AND SLEEVE SHAPING:
Row 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11: Purl across.
Row 2: (increase row): K1, inc 1, * K1, sl1 purlwise with yf, repeat for * across, end K1, inc 1, K1.
Row 4: K1, *Sl1 purlwise with yf, K1; repeat from * across.
Row 6: K1, *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf, repeat from * across, end K2.
Row 8: (increase row): K1, inc 1, *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf; repeat from * across, end K1, inc1, K1.
Row 10: K1, Sl1, purlwise with yf, K1; repeat from * across.
Row 12: K1, *K1, Sl1 purlwise with yf: repeat from * across, end K2.
Do not repeat these rows but cont pat as established and inc as established. Cont inc on each edge of sleeve every 6th row until 35 (39, 43, 47, 51) total.  Work in est pat until sleeve measures 16 (17, 17, 18, 19)" from beg or desired length.  Work next 2 rows in stockinette, BO 4 sts at beg of next 2 rows. Place remaining sleeve sts on spare needle. Knit second sleeve.  Sew sleeve seam, using outer half of edge stt for seam.

JOIN SLEEVES AND BODY:  The rest of the yoke (upper body and sleeves) is worked in stockinette.
Knit across 1st half of body sts, PM, cont knitting across all sts of one sleeve, PM, knit across rem body sts, PM, knit across rem sleeve, PM of a different color to mark beg of round.

BEGIN RAGLAN SHAPING:
Round 1: (dec rd): *K1, K2tog, K to 3 sts before next marker, Sl1, K1, PSSO, K1, Sl marker, repeat around form *.
Round 2: Knit. Repeat round 1 & 2 until yoke measures 7 (7, 8, 9, 9)" measuring straight up center of yoke fornt or back.

BEGIN NECK SHAPING: Knit to center 6 (6, 12, 8, 12), place these sts on holder or scrap piece of yarn.  Beg working back and forth in stockinette (Knit RS rows, Purl WS rows).  While cont raglan shaping, work these front neck decreases as follows 3 (3, 1, 4, 4) times: K2tog, knit around working raglan decreases, work final 2 sts by Sl1, K1, PSSO. Stop raglan shaping when there are not enough sleeve sts left to dec or when only 12 (12 14, 16, 20) back sts remain.  Work even on rem sts if needed until body measures 20 (21, 22, 24, 25)" form beg.

NECK EDGING: Using 16" circular needle and RS of sweater facing you, pick up 8 (8 6, 8, 8) sts from left neck edge, K across front neck sts, pick up 8 (8, 6, 8, 8) sts from right neck edge, K across rem sts of sleeve and back.  Work 2 rounds of K1, P1, ribbing.  Bind off loosely.

FINISHING: Sew underarm seam (8 sts form body and 8 sts from sleeve). Weave in all ends.  Block if needed using steam, but never touching iron to garment or block by using instructions of yarn label.
