A simple sweater turned up a notch by adding fresh colours in contrasts and stripes. The sweater is knit bottom up, and the yoke has a raglan variety with decreases only on the arm side. This gives a wide neckline, with a practical envelope opening and buttons on the shoulders. Try light and dark of the same colourway, or go crazy bananas with neon contrasts.
