The Cosmonaut Sweater
A cozy top-down raglan with a deeply textured yoke, purl ridges orbiting the shoulders like rings of the solar system, built for everyday adventures. Cut roomy and relaxed through the shoulders, it wears like your most-loved sweatshirt. Reach for the top shelf and the hem stays right where it is. Option for shorter yoke depth included.
Worked seamlessly from the top: a short flat section shapes the neckline, then joined in the round. Plain stockinette body with optional waist shaping, ribbed hem, cuffs and neckband (tubular bind-off tutorial linked in the pattern).

* Sizes 9 and 10 are fully graded and tech edited, but have not been test knitted yet. Planning to knit one of them? Message me on Ravelry and the pattern is on me: in return I would love your feedback, your finished measurements, and if possible a photo for the pattern page.
