Simple and relaxed raglan sleeved sweater with wide neckline and a cute lace detail on front. The sleeves are long but the length is easy to adjust.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. The work begins with the neckline shaping. When the raglan increases are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. The body is then worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The pattern includes photo tutorials for German short rows and for the bobble. The Lace pattern is both charted and written.
