As someone who is always cold, I’ve been wanting to expand my handknit sweater collection. This is an idea that has gone through several revisions and I’m so happy that it is finally going out into the world. Enjoy!
Home State is knit from the top down with raglan shaping. Mosaic colorwork is used at the bottom edges. Pockets (optional but useful for phone/keys) are hidden behind the mosaic band. Sleeves are knit after the body. Stitches for the front bands are picked up and worked last.
