Notes: Top is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. The yoke and body are
worked flat and sleeves are worked in the round after body is complete. The sleeves are
finished with an i-cord bind off, the front panels and back neck are finished with an
applied i-cord worked from the wrong side to prevent curling, and the bottom i-cord tie is
first worked half way, then applied to the live bottom edge of the body, then continued on
for the other half of the tie. Pattern is written in eight sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL,

Slide sts to other end of needle, and without turning, K across the row. The working yarn
will be pulled up the back of the work since it is now at the bottom of the sts.
Slide sts to the other end of the needle, and again without turning, K across the row. By
doing this you are forming a tube called an i-cord. Continue on in this manner until the i-
cord measures 36”/91cm (40”/102cm, 44”/112cm, 48”/122cm, 52”/132cm, 56”/142cm,
60”/152cm, 64”/163cm).
Slide sts to other end of needle. Bring the yarn around the back and K 3 sts. Sl the last st
purlwise with yarn in back.
With the RS of the body facing up, insert the needle containing the i-cord sts into the first
st on the circular needles, and K it. Pass the slipped st over the picked up st.
Slide the 4 sts to the other end of the needle. K 3 sts and sl the last st purlwise with yarn
in back. Pick up the next st on the circular needles by inserting the double pointed needle
into the st and knitting it, then pass the slipped st over it.
Continue this process until all of the sts on the first st holder/scrap yarn have been picked
up.
Now you will continue with the unattached i-cord to create the second tie. After you have
passed the slipped st over the last picked up st from the circular needles, slide the 4 sts to
the other end of the needle. K all of the sts, slide to the other end of the needle, K the sts,
slide to the other end, and continue this process until the unattached i-cord measures
36”/91cm (40”/102cm, 44”/112cm, 48”/ 122cm, 52”/132cm, 56”/142cm, 60”/152cm,
64”/163cm).
Short Sleeves:
Place sts from one sleeve holder onto double pointed needles and rejoin yarn.
CO 8 (8, 8, 12, 16) (20, 24, 28, 32) sts at underarm and pm for beginning of round. [54
(58, 62, 68, 72) (78, 82, 88, 92) sts]
Next 6 rnds: K.
*K 3, K2tog tbl, sl sts from right hand needle back to left hand needle purlwise, rep from *
to end of round, bind off last 4 sts normally.
Use tails to sew ends of i-cord bind-offs together. Rep all steps for other sleeve.
Using double pointed needles, CO 4 sts. K 3 sts, then sl the last st purlwise with yarn in
back. With WS of body facing and starting at the point where the bottom left front panel
attached i-cord begins, insert needle containing the sts into the first edge st along the
front edge and K into it. Pass the slipped st over the picked up st.
Slide the 4 sts to the other end of the needle. K 3 sts and sl the last st purlwise with yarn
in back. Pick up the edge st from the following row by inserting the double pointed needle
into the st and knitting it, then pass the slipped st over it.
Continue this process, working into the edge st of every row, up to the first raglan shaping
line, then work into each of the CO sts from this front left raglan line, top of left sleeve,
back left raglan line, back neck, back right raglan line, top of right sleeve, and front right
raglan line, then work into the edge st of every row of right front panel edge all the way
down to the point where the bottom right front panel attached i-cord begins.
Bind off and use tails to sew front i-cord edging to point where bottom attached i-cord
meets the i-cord ties.
