Shine Sweater Junior is a light and airy children’s sweater knitted with two strands of silk mohair. It is knitted from the top down with raglan increases and seed stitch knitting down the sleeves. The borders on the neck and sleeves are folded double and seed stitch sleeves are knitted while making raglan increases. The body is finished in an i- cord bind off or regular rib - this is your choice.
