Raglan
Raglan sweaters have no shoulder seam. The sleeve cap expands to the neckline to become the shoulder of the garment.
This popular sleeve style is a favorite of knitters.
The sleeve/armhole seams are often knit with decorative increases or decreases as a design feature.
An advantage of raglans over other styles is the fit. Because there are no shoulder seams to align with the shoulders they appear to fit a wider range of body types - wide or narrow shoulders.
Many knitters (both hand and machine) enjoy knitting raglan sweaters from the top down.
