The traveling-stitch sine wave down the front and back of this raglan pullover finds its rhythm as it moves back and forth across a twin slipped-stitch axis. Thoughtful details such as reverse-stockinette rolled cuffs and hem, an I-cord neckline finish, the elegant keyhole at the front neck, and fully fashioned A-line shaping add up to an irresistible sweater.

NOTES

  • The body and sleeves of this pullover are worked in the round from the lower edge to the yoke, then the pieces are joined for working the raglan shaping. At the center front opening, the garment is worked back and forth beginning and ending at the center front, then joined in the round again and finished with an I-cord bind-off.
  • Slip stitches purlwise with yarn in back.
