Reversible, cropped, 3/4 sleeves and a funnel neckline, this sweater is as fun to knit as it is to wear! It has a unique raglan shaping and a subtle batwing shape.

    GAUGE

    • 17 sts and 42 rounds = 10 cm / 4” in Shaker stitch with size A needle, measured from blocked and relaxed fabric.

    Note on gauge: Fabric needs to be blocked quite heavily to achieve this gauge, strongly recommended to knit a big swatch, (min. 15 cm / 6” square) block it and let it relax for a few hours before measuring the gauge.

        PROCESS

        The sweater is knit top down and in the round. After completing the folded collar and yoke, body and sleeves are worked separately in the round.

        As a final step, raglan panels are grafted together to close side seams.

        It is worked primarily in Two-colour Shaker St with alternating rounds of Yarn A as Main colour (MC) and Yarns B - E in a fade sequence or just Yarn B for a two-colour version as Contrast colour (CC).

        Beginning of collar, and ribbed hem and cuffs are worked with Yarn A only.
