Marina Sweater
Born at sea during a storm, the heroine of Shakespeare's Pericles was named Marina, and the deep navy of Marina Sweater makes the name feel just right.
Knitted with one strand of Sandnes Garn Poppy and one strand of Sisu on 6 mm needles: Poppy is a soft, airy blend of alpaca, cotton and merino, and Sisu is a hard-wearing wool and nylon yarn that makes the sweater last. This raglan sweater knitting pattern has two raglan stitches, relaxed sleeves and 2x2 rib at the body, sleeves and neckline.

Born at sea during a storm, the heroine of Shakespeare's Pericles was named Marina, and the deep navy of Marina Sweater makes the name feel just right.

This raglan sweater knitting pattern has two raglan stitches, relaxed sleeves and 2x2 rib at the body, sleeves and neckline.
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 work is then joined at the front neck and worked in the round with raglan increases until the yoke is finished. 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.
