Drizzle Sweater

Cozy raglan sleeved sweater with beautiful cables on front. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down and requires minimal finishing.

The work begins with the neck ribbing, followed by the raglan increases. Some short row shaping is worked at the bottom of the raglan section to lower the mid front.

When the raglan increases are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. The body is then worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.

The pattern includes photo tutorials for German short rows and tubular bind-off. The cable pattern is charted.
