Color Inspo Sweater

Classic striped sweater with V-neck, raglan sleeves and rolled-up cuffs. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. The work begins with the raglan- and V-neck shaping on upper body. Sleeve stitches are then placed on hold and the body is worked in the round towards the hem and finished off with the ribbing. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs. Long ribbed cuffs can be rolled up for a relaxed and cozy look.

The pattern includes a helpful sheet showing both raglan- and V-neck increases for every individual size to make counting easier.
