This sweater was designed specifically to let embroidery take center stage. The yarn was chosen for its neutral yet textured background, and the raglan framing is perfect for highlighting intricate images on the front.

The instructions are written so they can be adapted to most raglan sweater patterns, but the sample shown is based on the Knittable Sweater. The Knittable Sweater is a fully customizable raglan sweater that adjusts to any size and any yarn. It also lets you define the width of the raglans — which is set to 5 stitches in this design. The Knittable Sweater is available via subscription, with a 14-day free trial.

Although it may look complex, the embroidery is simple and uses only three techniques:

• Satin stitch
• Leaf stitch
• French knots

This project is perfect for letting your imagination run wild — choose any yarn and motif you like.

Happy knitting (and embroidering)!
