This sweater is a simple basic Raglan pullover with instructions on how to do some simple calculations so you can do a colour blocked version (as shown in the sample) using as many or as few colours as you would like.

The pullover is the Adult version of my original LITTLE NUGGET sweater that I designed when I was pregnant with my first child, and the yarns I used for this adult version were very special to me as they were purchased while on a trip when my husband and I were at a very difficult place on our journey to become parents. I had always envisioned using this yarn for a rainbow sweater for myself and decided this would be the perfect design to go with the child version.

It is a top down construction and utilises some short row shaping at the neck so the back of the neckline sits a little higher than the front making it a more comfortable fit.
