At first glance, Martine might appear to be a simple raglan, but it is so much more. The all-over knotted stitch creates wonderful texture to a perfectly fitting sweater (extra attention was put into the raglan shaping to ensure this). Martine can be worn alone in warmer temperatures or layered for additional warmth.

This is pattern is complimentary with a project kit purchase. More details here.
