Circus Sweater is an exciting and colorful raglan sweater knitted in Handdyed Organic Merino 300.

The entire sweater showcases a vibrant multicolor pattern, which can be created using as few as 2 colors or as many as you like. Here, we’ve used 12 colors.

The Circus Sweater is knitted from the top down, with increases at 4 raglan markers. You begin with a two-color ribbed neckband and continue in stranded knitting following a chart down to the armholes, where the work is divided into body and sleeves. The pattern extends across both the body and sleeves, which are also finished with a two-color ribbed edge.

The suggested colors are merely a guide, so feel free to combine your favorite colors however you like. The number of rows in each pattern section can also be easily adjusted.
