This sweater is inspired by a movie, Nights in Rodanthe.

I needed a raglan sweater with fit sleeves and a thin and warm fabric to be able to wear it easily under any jacket.

I wanted something different from my usual stockinette on the machine so I used an easy tuck stitch for the sleeves. Only knitting machine techniques were used. Hem for the body, rolled in edge for the sleeves and a neat i-chord binding for the neckline.

Stockinette settings : DT 2 - MT 3
Stockinette gauge : 25.5 st x 35 r for 10x10 cm

Tuck stitch settings : DT 4 - MT 3
Tuck stitch gauge : 18 st x 43 r for 10 x10 cm

tuck every other needle every other row, without any offset. You always tuck the same needles. I decided that odd rows would be tucked and even rows would be untucked, this way I alway knew what to do next. I also settled one Russel to tuck and the other one remained on untucking position, so all the needles were automatically knit on even rows. I settled my dial tension 2 points higher than my stockinette tension.
