Caramel Vanilla
If you purchase 5 or more patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (be sure to place them all on your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive a 25% discount.
Caramel Vanilla is a relaxed, raglan sleeved sweater with simple Eyelet pattern on lower body. It’s worked from top down and requires minimal finishing.
The work begins with the neck ribbing. The neckline is then shaped with short rows. When the raglan increases are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for German short rows. The Eyelet pattern is both charted and fully written out.
