I was giddy when my adult daughter asked if I would design a sweater especially for her. She had a very specific list of requirements, though.

• something that can be worn every day (work, school, home…)
• machine washable
• rounded neckline that’s not too tight
• flattering shape with small splits at the sides
• sleeves that aren’t too short
• textured stitchwork
• pretty color

I think I nailed it, although I won’t know for sure until Christmas when she opens her gift. (Hers is in Forestry. I’m keeping the Burnt Orange one for myself).

The sweater has a repetitive, textured stitch and simply shaped raglan sleeves.

This pattern comes in three women’s sizes and has a finished circumference of 34 (38, 42) inches.
