An ideal smart raglan sweater. The main sections of the front and back are worked in stocking stitch with flattering vertical lines of simple eyelets. The design features deep garter stitch borders with slits, which gives this sweater an elegant touch. The neckline in very slightly scooped with just 4 rows of garter stitch. Neat raglan sleeves, finishing just below the elbow, finish off this lovely design. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
