About the design …
X-tern (tern = the Danish word for square) is a classic raglan sweater, knitted seamlessly top-down in a textured pattern with squares. A very easy stitch pattern you will learn very fast.
X-tern has a boxy shape, with slightly wide and stubby sleeves. To complete the simple style, the edges are kept discreet with a thin I-cord bind off - and a slightly wider edge in neckline.*
