This sweater is knit from the top down with raglan shaping worked in twisted stitches for a clean, textured look. The body is mostly stockinette, making it a relaxing knit with just enough detail to keep things fun. The bottom of the sleeves feature a bobble-like lace section for a bit of variety without being too complicated. The pattern includes simple construction, minimal finishing, and a comfortable, everyday fit—great for knitters who want a satisfying project with a few fun twists. It’s knit top down, making it easy to try on as you go.

There’s also an optional lace/bobble detail on the bottom of the sweater to match the sleeves, if you’d like.
