Knits and purls create a woven-like, all over texture in this top down unisex raglan. Knit in North Bay Fiber Heritage, this woolen spun yarn beautifully showcases that clever texture! Adult sizes are written with a cropped length — However there is the option to add length for a more traditional silhouette. This pattern offers a wide range of sizes including child options too!

NOTES:
• Piece is worked both top-down and in-the-round.
• After the raglan increases are complete, the sweater is divided at the underarm. Body is completed, then the sleeves, then the neck.
• German short rows are used in the neck ribbing to shape the collar and distinguish the front from the back of the sweater
• The sewn bind off is recommened for finishing.
