Garance is knitted in a combination of wool, alpaca, linen, and silk mohair to create a very luxe raglan pullover. Copy the look or choose your own favorite worsted to Aran weight yarn substitute. The slightly cropped hem, extra wide neckline, and super long sleeves give it just the right details. Worn layered or alone, it is a classic stylish piece for any occasion.

Construction
Pullover is worked circularly from the bottom up. While shaping the neck, the yoke is worked back and forth using short rows.
