PATTERN NOTES

This raglan sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a collar that fits close to the neck. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. You end by working each sleeve individually.

Stitch counts and round counts are indicated for each size based on the following size order, unless otherwise noted in the heading: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). It is recommended that you highlight the stitch and round counts for your size before beginning to knit.

Stitches that appear between * and * should be worked until the end, unless otherwise indicated.

Begin using double pointed needles on the collar, and switch to circular needles when the yoke is wide enough to fit on circulars. Switch back to using double pointed needles when you work the sleeves.

It is recommended you check your gauge on both the circular needles and double pointed needles to ensure your tension is the same. Adjust your needle size as necessary to obtain gauge.

Stripe Rounds

The mohair is held together with the fingering weight yarn throughout the entire sweater. The Stripe Rounds are worked in the following order, listed from top to bottom of the sweater, with additional rows for sizes 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL only, as indicated below.

PATTERN NOTES

This raglan sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a collar that fits close to the neck. You first work the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. You end by working each sleeve individually.

Stitch counts and round counts are indicated for each size based on the following size order, unless otherwise noted in the heading: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). It is recommended that you highlight the stitch and round counts for your size before beginning to knit.

Stitches that appear between * and * should be worked until the end, unless otherwise indicated.

Begin using double pointed needles on the collar, and switch to circular needles when the yoke is wide enough to fit on circulars. Switch back to using double pointed needles when you work the sleeves.

It is recommended you check your gauge on both the circular needles and double pointed needles to ensure your tension is the same. Adjust your needle size as necessary to obtain gauge.

When beginning the Broken Seed Stitch Pattern on Round 8 or Round 10, depending on your size, be sure to start with a K round. All yoke increases occur on the K round of the Broken Seed Stitch Pattern.

A Note on Yoke Increases

This pattern uses the Broken Seed Stitch Pattern throughout. Be sure to keep this pattern consistent during the Yoke increases between the markers. In other words, you will always K on top of a P stitch from two rounds before, and P on top of a K stitch from two rounds before. Thus, when you are increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of a marker section, you will always begin with a K during the increases to keep the Broken Seed Stitch pattern.

There are times when you work increases on the bust panels only and not the sleeve panels. Be sure to keep the Broken Seed Stitch pattern consistent in each marker section, which may mean you are working the same stitch before and after a marker during the increases.
