This top-down seamless sweater features just a bit of colorwork that is broken up into raglan sections and a kangaroo knit-in pocket. The roomy collar has no wrong side, and will keep you cozy during those cold wintry days or after you’ve hit the slopes. This design features unisex sizing, making it suitable for anyone to wear and enjoy. Make it a basic by replacing the stranded work with all over stripes or solid. The sweater is modeled in Size S with 3”/7.5 cm positive ease. Check out the children’s version of this design, Brochan, after you knit your own.
