Notes

Based on the concept called raglan knitted top-down (“Raglan von oben” - can be found in here: http://www.raglanvonoben.de) this will be a cozy winter sweater.

Project start on 1st Octobre 2012.

For the so called “raglan lines” I decided to use a 4-stitch cable pattern.

For the waist I also will use cable patterns - but really improvised - I still don’t know how it will develope.

I also still don’t know if I will knit long sleeves or not - we’ll see.

Finished on 3rd March 2013.
I needed exactly 461 grams yarn for it.
Knitted some rhombic cable decoration for the waist shape.
Also made short sleeves, ending above the ellbow, so the wool will not be too stressed by wearing the sweater.

Maybe one day I will knit some cuffs for the forearms?

By wearing it I discovered a problem: the upper front is to loose, but as it is finished, I can’t change it no more… would have to frog the entire sweater - that’s not worth it! Will wear it anyway.
