Talk about math on top-down raglans and dig into neckline shaping (thanks Fran!) A demo of why adding rows in the back of the yoke of a sweater is NOT the same as working neckline shaping using short rows Perfect fit for intentionally oversized garments (thanks Jackie!)

Next episode we'll be talking even more about fitting breasts, and digging into Bess' bralette pattern.
