Fenn Sweater
€9.60
design : Trin Annelie
Description
"Cozy yarn meets colorwork and stripes in this classic top down raglan sweater. I designed it with the beautiful De Rerum Natura yarns in mind, either knit with Ulysse (sport weight) and Bérenice (lace/ silk mohair) held together, as shown in the sample, or a single strand of their worsted weight base Gilliatt. And worked with 4 colors in total (or as many as you like), this is the perfect piece to color up your wardrobe."

CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is worked in a seamless raglan construction. It starts with a provisional cast on and a few short rows to set up the neckline shape. After the colorwork is established, the yoke, body and sleeves are worked top down in the round.
The yoke is fully charted for each size and the pattern comes with a general chart and thorough instructions for the colorwork at the body and sleeves. The colorwork pattern uses only two colors at a time.
The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.
