Adams Morgan Sweater
The Adams Morgan sweater is a soft and well-fitting raglan sweater featuring cable and broken lattice stitch panels against a double seed stitch background. Like the diverse neighborhood of Adams Morgan in Washington, D.C., it is characterized by a variety of textures and colors that come together to make a beautiful, unique garment.
The body and sleeves in the sweater are knit in the round from the bottom up and are joined at the yoke for raglan shaping. Optional short rows are used to raise the back of the neckline and an Italian bind-off is used for the collar.
