About the design:

Classic sweater in stockinette stitch knit from the top down with raglan shaping, a loose fit, and only a minimal finishing required.
The sweater is worked with 1 strand of the main colour throughout the work, and 1 strand of a contrasting colour as a mix colour, which can be switched as needed or as wanted. The first approx. 5 cm on the yoke is worked in uniform colour (2 strands of the main colour).
Note that you’ll need to have around half of the mix colour left for the sleeves after working the body if the two sleeves is to match the body.
The length of body and sleeves can be adjusted as needed.
