From Ravelry Page:

The top-down raglan sweater begins with short row neck shaping for a refined fit, followed by seamless joined rounds down to the bust line. The piece is then split into the body and sleeves. Designed with a 4-inch / 10 cm positive ease around the bust, it offers a relaxed and flattering look. The sweater features classic tapered sleeves complemented by short ribbing, enhancing both comfort and style. Its distinctively square-ish neckline adds a modern twist to the timeless raglan design.
It’s the perfect raglan in every way—a seamless blend of classic comfort and stylish design, making it an essential addition to any wardrobe.

In this pattern, you will also find a detailed description of how to make the joined seams straight, depending on the specific yarn you are using. This educational material will not only help you perfect this sweater but also serve as a valuable guide for your future projects.

***

Although the skeins come from the same dye bath, they can vary. If working with two or more skeins I recommend alternating strands to obtain a uniform fabric.

Care:
Even though this yarn is super wash I recommend a cool hand wash in a mild detergent. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color you may find a little color bleed on the first wash.

I try to depict the true color of yarn but please remember each monitor will be different.
