Designed by Claudia Q

I named this sweater after my younger brother, Alex. It is an easy everyday knit with rustic details.

The pullover is worked from the top down with raglan shaping. A small section of short rows is worked at the bottom of the back raglan shaping for a more comfortable fit. A button closure at the back of the neck is included for the 4 smallest sizes.
