A super light weight yet reliably warm raglan, knit in Icelandic wool. While most Lopi is turned into warm yet traditional Icelandic yoke sweaters, this raglan, gives Plötulopi yarn a cleaner simpler look.

Featuring tubular cast on and bind off of both sleeves, hip and neckline, as well as a shorter almost cropped length, this raglan was written to suit my favourite high waisted mom jeans. The addition of mohair adds just a tad bit of softness.

I’d love to knit another in blue soon, DM if you are interested in knitting along.

Construction
Knit from the bottom up and in the round. Body and sleeves separately at first and then joined together on a larger circular needle. Then the raglan decreases are worked.

While the last quarter of the decreases are still left to be done, some back neck short row shaping begins and is done simultaneously until only the neckline is left.

Sizing
Bottoms Up Raglan is presented in one size only for now.
Written for a bust measurement of 34 inches around the underarm, with about 6 inches of positive ease.

Finished bust measurement pre-wet blocking of 38.5 inches, and post blocking of 41 inches.
Front length: 19inch
Back length: 20inch
Bust: 41 inch (finished and wet blocked)

Materials
2 plates (200g) of Plötulopi yarn pictures in Ivory Beige 1038
3 skeins (150g) of Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive in Oat
(it was close for the mohair so you may need a bit more say another fifth or quarter of skein, maybe best to get 4 for swatching anyway)

Skills
Italian/Tubular cast on, Tubular bind off (can use Long tail if you prefer)
Increases, decreases, German short rows, Kitchener stitch for grafting the underarms.

Best,
Claudia
