Notes

I was worried that the neck would not lay down flat (because there’s no ribbings) but it does! MAJOR PHEW~

I love how there’s short row shaping on the back neck AND the back hem. This has always been my major concern with raglan designs because the front would come up and straggle me - but not this one.

Overall an insanely quick knit. It’s a worsted weight sweater - it knits itself.
I have to say this is the most well fitted raglan sweater design that I’ve knit so far - personally.
Highly recommended for beginners.

Update after having this sweater for a year:

My absolute favorite sweater. Maybe because this color is my most flattering mustard yellow. I told myself that I’m tired of mohair but I’m actually not! I wear this sweater a lot, over dresses, as a layer on top on chilly morning, all over the last winter.
Hands down a must-knit!
