Jerrica (2021SE-3) (Digital Download
This embellished top-down raglan cardigan calls to mind the embroidered sweaters of the 1950’s, but with a completely updated palette and silhouette. Plus, no embroidery! The details here are knit into the sweater as you go. Technically, the raglan details are made using intarsia, but don’t be frightened off if you don’t know the technique – with so few stitches worked in the contrast colour, there’s no need to twist the yarns as you work.
