DESCRIPTION
The Funfetti Raglan is an opportunity to craft your own unique color palette. This classic, relaxed raglan features a simple stranded colorwork motif that creates a complex visual effect by combining as many different colors as you wish! You can source colors from your stash, use up scraps from other projects, or use Brooklyn Tweed’s Arbor mini skeins to create your ideal palette of colors. Fingering yarn held double, DK yarn, or worsted yarn can all be used for the CCs.

CONSTRUCTION
This pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. German Short Rows are used to shape the neck, which means a few rows of colorwork are worked on the WS. (Don’t worry though - I’ve shared my recommended tutorial in the links.) 1x1 rib finished with Tubular Cast Ons and Bind Offs lends a polished finished look to this sweater.
