The body and sleeves of this sweater are designed to be knit seamlessly, with the body including front edging knit in one piece to the armholes and the sleeves knit in the round with double-pointed needles.  The body and sleeves are sewn to each other along the raglan armhole seams.  There is no built-in closure, which allows you to cinch the sweater tighter or looser depending on your preference – I think it will be a great pregnancy sweater since it will grow with you for many months.  Different shawl pins or brooches will change the look.  The glass closure photographed is from Moving Mud.  Choose the size just smaller than your actual bust measurement for the best fit – you can wrap the sweater looser for a custom fit.
