Kits include yarn, pattern, and row checker in a backpack project bag. The unique row checker helps you keep track of stitch count and shaping row-by-row with check-off boxes. So, you can avoid mistakes and stop your project then start again at the exact spot where you put it on hold.

If you choose to purchase the pattern only, a link to the row checker for each size is also included.

This raglan sweater is knit flat in four pieces: the back, front, and two sleeves. Each piece is worked from the top down. After knitting the four pieces, you will sew three of the four raglan seams, pick up and work the neckband flat, then sew the remaining seams. This sweater is worked in the 5-Color Stripe Pattern. Each row is a different color. As you work the pattern, carefully float the colors you are not working with up the edge of your work. These floats will sit on the inside of your sweater, but your seams will look tidy and be easier to sew if the floats are as neat as possible. As you proceed, note that the first and last stitch of every right side row is worked through the back of the loop. This twists the first and last st and helps to ensure a tidy edge.
