Knitting Pattern for a classic raglan sweater with a popping wave-lace-pattern in contrasting colors in sizes XS/S | M/L (XL/2XL | 3XL/4XL).

Structure:
The sweater is worked with a classic raglan set-up top down in one piece. First of all, the yoke is worked in the wave-lace pattern in rows to shape the round neck. Afterwards, when the round neck is closed, the yoke is worked with raglan increases and in wave lace pattern in the round. When the sleeves are separated, the body is finished in one piece without any increases and a hem in 1x1 twisted ribbing in the MC. The sleeve stitches are now picked up again and the sleeves are worked until the desired length in wave lace pattern too. Shortly before the cuffs, a bunch of decreases is worked for a balloon-like sleeve shape. Then, the cuffs are worked in 1x1 twisted ribbing in the MC as well. Finally, stitches around the neckline are picked up in the MC and the double folded collar is worked in 1x1 twisted ribbing. The fit of the sweater is neutral to slightly oversized creating a comfortable fit due to the positive ease of 2 to 12 cm. The length is relatively short for a cropped look of the sweater. The most exciting thing is the wave lace pattern – consisting of garter stitch stripes alternating with lace pattern stripes creating the unique wave lace pattern, which is then emphasized by the two contrasting colors.
