Level of Difficulty – Beginner to Intermediate
Knitted in one piece with Adorn Cotton Cashmere DK, this sweater has ¾ length raglan sleeves and is worked from the top down in stocking stitch with ribbed side panels and hem. Sleeves and the body of the garment are designed to be knitted in the round so that no sewing up (apart from securing loose ends and closing the small opening under the armholes) is required.
