Here’s a sweater pattern you won’t want to catch and release - reel it in and relish in the alluring appeal! sorry to keep baiting you with all this fish talk, but this sweater simply speaks for itself hook, line and sinker.

The raglan shaping features stitches that resemble fish swimming down the stitch increases, the body is full of an assortment of color work fishing lures of all shapes and sizes, and the sleeves feature a wave pattern that spaces itself out according to the rules of the Fibonacci sequence.

Charts are included for the fish shaped stitches along the raglan, the color work for the body of the sweater, and the wave pattern on the sleeves.
