This is the original Pumpkin Spice Sweater that has now been updated, but a new listing (this one) has been created so that you can now purchase it!

A cosy classic raglan sweater, worked from the top down with a folded collar, simple textured pattern and fitted sleeves. All worked in the round with no seaming, adorned with half twisted rib. The pattern features tapered sleeves, but there is an option for balloon styles sleeves too, to suit your tastes! There are also German Short Rows to shape the neckline, with a description on how to do them. The stripes are optional, and therefore only a guide has been included in the pattern.

Pattern support and additional graded sizes can be requested, just message me!

Recommended for an intermediate level knitter or adventurous beginner, it’s important to keep an eye on the waffle stitch pattern.

It is important gauge is met, or your sweater may end up too small (or large).
