Gauge- 22 stitches x 34 rows in stockinette on 3.5 mm (US 4) needle or needle size needed to meet gauge in 4”x 4”/ 10 cm
Construction-
This is a raglan style sweater that is worked top down. First the collar is knit in stockinette to create the rolled neckline, then German short rows are worked to shape the neckline. The raglan increases continue to create the yoke. Additional rows are knit in the back before splitting for the sleeves to raise the back. You’ll then knit the body and then the sleeves. The cuffs and body are finished with 3x1 ribbing with a rolled hem to complement the raglan details and the rolled collar.
Needles-
3.5 mm (US 4) 20”/ 50 cm circular needle, 32”/ 80 cm circular needle, or size needed for gauge. Used for the body and sleeves
3 mm (US 2.5) 32”/ 80 cm circular needle, or two US sizes smaller than gauge needle. Used for body and cuff ribbing (using magic loop for the cuff)
