Construction: The Helix Raglan is knit in the round from the top down, beginning with a twisted-rib collar, which is worked for several inches and then folded over & knit together. German short rows are worked to lift the back neck. Raglan increases are combined with a delicate cable pattern for the yoke. The sweater is then divided for body and sleeves, and the body and sleeves are also knit in the round.
Sizing: Sizing is based on finished chest circumference. Recommended positive ease of 6-8 inches, but feel free to aim for less ease if you prefer a closer fit. For reference, model is wearing Size 2 (41"). Her bust size is 33", so there is 8" of positive ease pictured.
As always, it is important to manage gauge to ensure you will have enough yarn. If you are worried you can purchase an extra skein! Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
I received my kit in plenty of time before the start of the sweater KAL. The color (417) is a beautiful fall gold-just what I wanted. I have cast on and started the pattern and the yarn is soft and wonderful to work with. Thanks TWT!
