Diamonds And Pearls Sweater is a classic raglan sweater with a diamond pattern and bubbles and a wide ribbing trim. The design is oversized and cropped, but can also be made as a longer model or as a cardigan. It is worked in the round from the bottom up, working the body and sleeves individually until the pieces are joined at the yoke, increasing on each side of the raglan seams. At the end short rows are worked to make the neck longer in the back. Finish with a double layered ribbing in the neck.
