Notes

I can’t believe how quickly this knit up! I dont usually gravitate towards raglans, I find the increases a slog, but I absolutely loved knitting this one. The 4 row repeat was super easy to track and I love the look of the increases.

I used this bind-off method for my sweater, I find that this sewn bind-off mimics a long-tail cast-on and has a good amount of stretch to it without rolling too much as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibn-01Ilxpg

One other note is that I did not end up needing the full amount of needed yarn, I only used 7 balls a tiny bit of an 8th. I knit everything to pattern, but need to double check my row gauge once blocked. All final measurements match the pattern, size L has a 47 inch circumference
