One large hexagon, embellished with a repeated, snowflake-like pattern, becomes the front of this roomy pullover. Another forms the back. The innate geometry here makes the slant of raglan sleeves the natural choice. Knit from the outside in, the seamless hexagon is picked up along the raglan edges of the sleeves and the slanted edges of the triangular side inserts. Echoing the angles found throughout the sweater, the neck and bottom edges are finished off with mitred ribbing.
