Design Details:
In this pattern, you’ll find an eyelet design in the raglan sections, adding a delicate touch to the sweater’s structure. Additionally, there are lace panels running down the center front and center back, creating a beautiful focal point. The pattern is fully written out, and for the lace sections, a chart is also included for those who prefer working with visual aids.

Techniques:
The pattern incorporates German short rows to shape the lower part of the sweater, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit.

This project offers a mix of techniques that are both engaging and satisfying, making it a rewarding knit from start to finish.

Regularly try on your project, especially before separating for the sleeves and body, as you may need to adjust the raglan length based on your body. When you start the bottom ribbing, try it on again to decide on your preferred length.

The design includes long sleeves, but you can customize the sleeve length or omit them for a sleeveless version—just adjust your yarn accordingly.

Blocking will significantly affect the shape and gauge, so keep that in mind. Also, if using hand-dyed yarns, alternate skeins to avoid pooling or noticeable lines.

Happy knitting!
