Just like the Princess Cocachin, who was living among the members of the royal family pretending to be one of them, this sweater pretends to be a raglan sweater, but has much more to offer. Elegant, stylish, easy to knit sweater, with details which keep you going from the very first to last stitch.

Pattern information
