Inspired by sun rays at daybreak that light up the sky, Rae features a 3 colorway gradient that lights up this sweater. This eye catching fade is worked over a comfortable raglan silhouette with a breezy split hem.

Construction: Rae is worked top down. Aside from a few rows at the neckline and the split hem that are worked flat, it is worked entirely in the round. Once the I-Cord edging around the split hem is finished, the sleeves are worked from the yoke to the cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline for the I-Cord edging.

Techniques used: Working flat and in the round, raglan shaping, simple striping, I-cord BO.
