Cropped, slightly A-line sweater with raglan sleeves and a bit of colorwork. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down, beginning with the neck ribbing. The neckline is then shaped with short rows. When the raglan increases are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. The body is then worked in the round towards the hem and finished off with the split ribbing. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for German short rows. Colorwork pattern is both charted and written.
