Reflecting on the trims of years gone by, Indara brings a modern spin, with its simple design allowing the texture to shine.

Indara is constructed using a seamless top-down raglan method. The sleeves are worked at the same time as the body, and then finished before moving on to the skirt, which also makes it perfect for using gradient style yarns.

Indara comes written in 12 sizes (from newborn to approximately 10 years of age), and is written for Sport/5ply yarn.

Skills needed
knitting in the round
increasing
simple stitch crossing
backwards loop cast on (for under the arms)
working top down raglan construction
working with 2 different sized needles at the same time (wrangling an octopus)
If you are not familiar with these techniques you may need to reference a knitting guide book, or view videos on the internet.

Indara was designed with White Gum Wool 5 Ply Silk/Merino. You can source White Gum Wool here: www.whitegumwool.com.au
