Malika is a top down knitted raglan sweater with short or long sleeves.
We start on the top and work seamlessly down to the hem. After raglan increases are finished, sleeves are seperated from the body. Then the body is knitted to the hem. Now the neck opening is seamed and we start knitting the sleeves.
Enjoy nice stripes in contrasting color(s).
