The Picnic Sweater is a raglan sweater with a checked pattern at the bottom of the body and sleeves. Designed with a
standard fit with approximately 15 cm / 6 in of positive ease. The idea was to create a sweater based on the checked
pattern, which is easy to adjust in length to suit your style. A sweater with a good fit in all sizes.

The sweater is worked top down. First, the neck ribbing is
knitted, which is then folded down and knitted together
with the cast-on edge. Short rows and raglan inc are
worked to shape the neck. Raglan inc are continued on
the yoke.
Then, the work is divided for the body and sleeves,
and on both parts, the Picnic Check pattern is knitted
according to the chart at the back of the pattern. The
sweater is finished with ribbing on the body and sleeves.
