This is a sweater perfect for scrap yarn.

The sweater is knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping.
It is worked entirely in the round, with short rows at the back of the neckline.

Scrap yarn can be both challenging and fun to work with.
Some colors require surprisingly little yarn.
Feel free to swap colors in the pattern to match your scrap yarn stash. Repeat colors as often or as little as you like.
