RICKY - a nice and practical 5-coloured polo jersey in DK-weight cotton - made for my grandson. Long raglan sleeves optimizing the fit. The jersey is coloured in stripes giving one the possibility to use left over yarn or to make nice colour-ways. The sleeves are worked separately and then worked together with the body in raglan.
The body are worked in rounds on circular needles and the sleeves flat back and forth.
This design is also good in girlish colours.
