The Lavender Haze Sweater is an all-over cabled raglan sweater which is knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. Stitches are cast on for the neckline and the cable repeat is established. Three options for different neckline lengths are given. After the desired neckline length is reached, German Short Rows are worked before the raglan increases to create more fabric at the back of the neckline. Then, the cable pattern established in the neckline transitions seamlessly into wide raglan panels with increases on each side. When the intended body and sleeve circumferences are reached, the sweater is split for body and sleeves, and worked without body or sleeve decreases until the desired length. For sizes 1-6, the pattern includes a modification for a wider neckline and wider sleeves, which is described in the appendix. This modification is already incorporated into sizes 7-11.

Yarn estimates are approximate and depend on your gauge and preferred body and sleeve length. The above yardages are calculated for a 20/10 stitch gauge, a body length of 55cm, and a sleeve length of 45cm. If you knit at a tighter gauge (21-22/10) or want to knit the sweater longer, you might need more yarn. If you knit at a looser gauge (18-19/10) or want to knit the sweater shorter, you might need less yarn.

The purple sample is knit in Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt in the color 5012 Perfect Purple. It is shown in Size 5 with 18cm of positive ease, a body length of 55cm excluding the turtleneck, and neckline option C.
