The Emily Sweater is a chunky oversized raglan sweater knitting pattern with a crew neck, relaxed sleeves, and refined i-cord edges at the sleeves and hem for a clean, distinctive finish. Worked in Viking Alpaca Bris held double with a strand of Drops Kid Silk for a beautifully airy fabric in soft sky blue tones.
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.
