Notions: 2 spare cables or waste yarn to hold the sleeves, 9 sliding markers, with one contrast marker for the BOR.

Construction & modification: The sweater is knit from the top down in the round using a raglan construction. Short rows are used to shape the neckline. Once the yoke is complete the sleeves are set aside while the body is completed with a split hem. The sleeves are then knit in the round. The length of the body and sleeves can be easily modified.

Difficulty: Intermediate. This sweater is knit from the top down mainly in the round. It uses only basic knit and purl sts and increases, but does incorporate short rows.

Practicalities: The test knit will be run via google docs and discord. There will not be an instagram chat (it's just super impractical sorry!). All feedback should be given via the google doc so please make sure you are comfortable using docs, in addition questions can also be shared on discord.
