Montrose Sweater (English)
This pattern is in English.
Montrose Sweater has a classic raglan structure with a striped texture worked throughout. The oversized fit provides a modern look that looks great with anything. The sweater is worked from the top down. First the neck edge is worked and folded over, then short rows are worked to create shape to the neck as part of the yoke. The remainder of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges are bound off using your preferred bind-off technique.
