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. Knit it in one colour for a more understated look, have fun with colours with a fade version or go for a striking and bold striped look with just two colours.

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.

Design notes:
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.

Techniques:

• Knitting in the round
• Crochet provisional CO
• Tubular BO and grafting with kitchener stitch
• Two-colour shaker st in the round
• Increases and decreases in shaker st
