Cabana Sweater has a classic raglan structure with a unique texture detail on the sleeve. The perfect sweater to layer over a summer dress or paired with jeans for a relaxed, classic look. The sweater is worked from the top down. First the neck edge is worked and folded over, then short rows create shape to the neck as part of the yoke. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges are bound off using your preferred bind-off technique.
