220 Superwash® - Winter Rose Sweater

Designed by Vera Sanon

This sweater is worked in top-down raglan construction, which gives the knitter the op- portunity to try on the sweater during the knitting process to get a customized fit, espe- cially in length.

The front of the sweater features a beautiful and classic lattice cable with lace insert. It is easy to knit and instructions are included in charted and written out format.

The instructions also include optional waist shaping. Omitting the waist shaping results in a more casual fit of the sweater, though including the waist shaping results in a rather flattering shaping.

Keep in mind that superwash wool has a tendency to grow in length when washed, thus

by making the sleeves about 1" shorter and the body about 2" shorter than the desired length will result in perfect length of the sleeves and the body.
