Elin is a go-to raglan sweater for summer and spring – with short sleeves and plenty of positive ease it is light enough for warmer days too. It is worked from the top down in one piece with short rows worked for the back of the neck. Hem, cuffs and the collar are finished with a few rounds of Reverse Stockinette stitch.
