Construction

The sweater is knit top-down in the round without any seams.
Raglan lines are placed in the center front/ back and sides, and then continued into the body and sleeves to create the chevrons patterning. The corners are ‘’filled in“ using (German) short-row shaping.The pattern also feature simple texture created by purl stitches, which can be easily omitted if you prefer plain stockinette.
