The Sycamore Sweater is worked from the top down. The first section is worked back and forth on the circular needle to shape the neckline, then the rest is worked in the round on the circular needles. The yoke is shaped first by working shoulder increases from both the right side and the wrong side of the work while working flat, then with increases for the sleeves, and finally with raglan increases. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The asymmetrical stripe pattern on the Sycamore Sweater is formed by working short rows, specifically using the Japanese Short Row technique.
