Kaori kits

Kaori is a raglan jumper, knitted top down starting with the neckline, the back is then shaped with short rows then the yoke is shaped with increases to create the raglan look, it has a boxy body with no shaping and colourwork for the majority of the body, the sleeves have a tapered fit, that is shaped with decreases, whilst having a looser and comfy fit

The pattern is named after my mum in Japanese, she loves lavender and was the inspiration behind the design
