** Bison Sweater Knitting Pattern **

The Bison sweater is a contemporary garment that is knitted top-down featuring raglan sleeves. The sweater has a cropped fit; however, the length can easily be adjusted according to your preference.

The Bison sweater is first knitted flat, during which the neck shaping takes place. Once the neck shaping is complete, the sweater will be knitted in the round. The sweater is meant to have approx. 10 cm / 4 in of positive ease at the bust and a fitted waist. It features a mock turtleneck and tapered sleeves.
