Pictures do not do this sweater justice. Definitely worth using a special yarn, it is knit loosely to show off the yarn and it is a top-down raglan, knit “all-in-one”, so there is very little finishing work. This is the type of sweater that you can knit time and again in various sport weight, artisan yarns or in two or three strands of finger weight yarn and always have a different sweater when you are done.
