The ARMOR sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. Start working the collar in the collar stitch pattern and then increase for the armor stitch pattern. Then the yoke is worked with raglan increases to sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body in armor stitch to the bottom. After the body is completed, the sleeve sts are picked up again to work the sleeves top down in armor stitch in the round to the end. Buy the pattern here.
