A woven raglan! How in tarnation? This basic colorwork sweater mixes dissimilar & one-off skeins of color-changing handspun against a solid backdrop for a not-so-basic result. Watching the faux plain-weave fabric form while the spun colors change makes for a such a fun knit that showcases the beauty of multicolor yarns in a very magic way!
We love how the colors play out in this cute cropped jumper, a really fun garment for sure.
Pattern is sold separately.
