Alfred’s Sweater is worked top-down seamless on circular needles. The beginning of the yoke is knit in 2×2 ribbing without raglan increases. The top is then folded over to create a casing or hem (like a short tube) where the elastic band will be placed. Then, the rest of the yoke is worked with raglan increases.
