Raya Pullover
Bold stripes knit in a pullover that has a slight flare at the bottom framed by a folded hem. The sleeve is more fitted, using short rows, which is less bulky. Raya is knit from the bottom up. in the round and then is divided at the armhole. Each color takes about 200 yds. depending on your size. I purchased 3 yarns that went together well and filled in the rest from my stash. A great sweater that is versatile and easy to wear.

Yarn and Sizes
The sweater uses 6 colors of sock/fingering weight yarn. The sweater uses approximately 160( 185/200/210/250/275 yds of each of the 6 colors. I bought 3 skeins of sock/fingering yarn that complimented each other. Then, I supplemented from my stash. Hopefully, you have enough to do the same. If you should run out of a certain yarn, simply substitute another yarn as none of the pieces follow a stripe pattern. No-one will be the wiser! I used the following: Color A: Aguas Malabrigo sock 440 yds. Color B: Head Over Heels, Color C: Harpoon, Color D :Desert Rose Magpie Solo Fingering 100% Superwash Merino Color E: Chickory Dandelion 434 yards Madeline Tosh 90% wool, 10% Linen Color F :Nightshade :The Fibre Co. Meadow 40% Merino wool, 25% baby llama, 20% silk,15% linen 545 yds Yardages listed are the amounts in a full skein.
