The Gorte Sweater
The Gorte sweater is an everyday sweater. This is a classic raglan worked in the round on circular needles top-down with raglan increases. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or with the magic loop technique. To make the sweater anatomically comfortable to wear, short rows were used after the collar to shape the neck opening. This pattern is so customizable depending on your preferences for length. The sweater should be worn with 3-4 inches/8-10 cm in positive ease at bust.
