The Bonnie sweater is a charity pattern with 100% of the proceeds going to pawz for thought, a wonderful animal charity that helps any animal from mice to swans to cats to pigeons, they truly care about every animal.

The bonnie sweater is a top down raglan, the pattern currently has 1 variety which does not include short rows but will shortly be updated to come with a short row option so this pattern is perfect for beginners and advanced knitters alike. The pattern is worked by casting on for the neck edge, working a set up row and then working raglan increases to shape the shoulders before we split for sleeves. we then work the body before working the cuff which comes with an option for a standard cuff or a split hem all worked inn 2x2 rib. We then work the sleeves whilst working decreases and work a 2x2 cuff. We then pick the stitches up for the collar work double the length desired and work a folded over collar. The sweater can of course we worked to any length but yarn estimates are designed for a slightly cropped fit as shown in the sample photos.
