SHORT SUMMARY

The Forest Cabin Sweater is a colorwork top-down raglan sweater with a simple seamless construction. It comes in ten adult sizes and additionally, you can choose from four neckline styles: double neck, turtleneck, mock turtleneck, and crew neck.

Knit in one piece from the top down, this sweater uses the magic loop method with raglan increases. Short rows are incorporated at the top of the yoke to elevate the back neck for an improved fit. While I used German short rows, you can opt for any short-row technique. The colorwork yoke includes long floats, so I recommend using the Ladderback Jacquard technique for better tension management.
