Pattern description from Alterknits: “This elegant raglan combines comfort with luxury and style. For extra femininity it includes gentle waist shaping, a keyhole opening at the back of the neck, and a velvet finish at the neck and sleeve edges. For those who prefer to skip the velvet edging, the pattern includes two options: an attached i-cord edge and a crocheted edge.”
