Gwan Yin is the goddess of mercy. The simple lace in this raglan is reminiscent of the lotus flower she perches on.
This Gwan Yin Raglan is made from the top-down in a seamless raglan construction. Sleeve island is banished with this knit as the lace keeps the sleeves interesting. The body of the raglan is written as a cropped sweater, however, length can easily be added.
