Cozy and oversized raglan sleeved sweater with contrasting colored stripes and cute embroidery. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down.
The work begins with the neck ribbing. The neckline is then shaped with short rows. When the raglan increases are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. The body is then worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The pattern includes photo tutorials for German short rows and for the embroidery.
