Just complicated enough not to bore you. Just uncomplicated enough to finish it. Relaxed Loppis can transform leftover yarn into your most-used sweater. ConstructionThe sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. After completing the yoke, the work is divided into sleeves and body, and each section is then worked separately.
