The Nove sweater is a classic everyday sweater for a child. This is a classical raglan worked in the round on circular needles top-down with raglan increases. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or circular needles with the magic loop technique. To make the sweater anatomically comfortable to wear, short rows were used after the collar to shape the neck opening. This pattern is so customizable depending on your preferences for length. The sweater is designed with a positive ease of approximately 2-5 inches/5-13 cm at the chest.
