About the Design
A top-down raglan featuring a cable lace raglan detail, matching front and back cable panels, all highlighted by the smooth fabric of reverse stockinette. Collar, hem and cuffs are finished in 2x2 rib and a tubular bind-off. Short rows in the collar lift the back neck for a more comfortable fit around the neckline. The collar is picked-up and knit at the end. Knit inside out to minimize purling, this is a cozy DK weight sweater perfect for the fall and winter.
