Some afternoons are made for staying in and doing nothing but knit. The Cloudy Afternoon Sweater is an oversized raglan sweater knitting pattern with a crew neck, relaxed sleeves and 2x2 ribbing. Knitted here in Sterk, held together with a strand of Tynn Kidsilk Erle for extra softness and a warm hazy halo.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases. You begin by casting on stitches for the yoke and working back and forth with increases to shape the neckline opening. The shoulders are joined by the front neck, and the yoke is knitted in the round with raglan increases. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is worked in the round. The neckline ribbing is worked by picking up stitches along the neckline opening. Finally, the sleeves are worked from the held stitches.
