We currently have Dynamic raglan patterns  (and are working on more sizes)

This is FANTASTIC!! I'm making the Carmine pullover as we speak!  My only issue is it doesn't explain how to put it together and how to add the collar. Any help on this would be great!!?  I have one sleeve left to go and am unsure where to start with putting it all together â?¤
