Aurora is a classic raglan sweater with a high turtleneck. It features some beautiful details; the ribbing going down the sides of the body and under the sleeves, and a very flattering shaping of the body.
It is easy to knit. There are no difficult techniques, but you have to pay attention to the details throughout!

Note: Needle size is just a suggestion. Adjust needle size if needed to obtain gauge! Pay extra attention to your gauge when working the sleeves. Many knitters tend to have a tighter gauge when working small circumferences. If this happens to you, you will have to go up a needle size when knitting the sleeves!
