It’s so fun to finally be able to wear white after this long, tough winter. I’ve recently purchased some bright colored bottoms to liven up my wardrobe and thought it might be fun to knit a white short sleeve sweater to wear with these new additions. I love the summer knits I’ve seen with larger gauges that are really stretchy so I decided to use large needles and two strands of yarn together, to create this easy summer piece. It’s a basic top down raglan sweater and it’s very stretchy, so there’s no tricky shaping involved. This would be a great first top down raglan if you haven’t tried one before or a fun quick knit for those of you who are more experienced. It can also be easily modified (long sleeve, stripes, etc.) to make it your own.
