Moray Sweater has a raglan structure with classic stripes worked throughout. The sweater is worked from the top down. First the neck edge is worked and folded over, then short rows are worked to create shape to the neck as part of the yoke. The remainder of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges are bound off using the Italian Bind-off technique.

Size guide:
Moray Sweater is designed to have approximately 22 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approximately 22 cm larger in circumference than your bust measurement.

NB) The Oenling No.1 yarn is listed as Aran weight here on Ravelry, however in my experience it would classified as DK weight, as it provides a lovely lightweight garment.
