This relaxed-style crewneck sweater is worked top down with raglan shaping. German short rows are used in the ribbing of the collar to create depth in the back and lower the front neckline. The colourwork is created by using Mosaic Knitting Technique. Increases and decreases inspired by Jodi Brown’s brilliant Saturday Hat pattern make the honeycomb-like texture. The pattern includes Optional Yoke Depth and Optional Body Increase instructions and is graded for 12 sizes.

If you are curious about the stitch pattern, and not quite sure about committing to a sweater in it. I highly recommend knitting the Saturday Hat by Jodi Brown as a great usable swatch.
