Notes

I enjoy knitting colourwork. I have previously knitted an IRIS sweater from Trin Annelie. I now have a good opportunity to knit a raglan sweater from her.

I opted for half-length sleeves because I didn’t have enough main colour (MC) yarn. That’s why the ribbing is knitted in a different colour.
And I did double folded neck.

Yarn used:
MC - 517m - Graphite
CC1 - 167m - Truffle
CC2 - 130m - Spring
CC3 - 72m - Heath
CC4 - 500m - Donkey

Measurements:
Body length from underarm - 32cm
Sleeve length from underarm - 15cm
Sleeve width - 17cm
Chest circumference - 100cm

I am very happy with the result.

The model was my dear daughter.
It was difficult to take pictures in the cloudy weather. The colours are most accurately visible in the first picture with the model and in the WIP pictures.
