The classic raglan pullover meets ‘60s Mod detailing in the Jocasta Pullover. Flared elbow-length sleeves and a wide funnel-neck collar are paired with textured cables and a fitted body. Worked from the top down, the length and shaping can be customized to fit your needs. The cables, a mix of Stockinette and Garter stitch, are positioned in the center and along the raglan lines, then continue down the sides of the body.

A bouncy merino/bamboo blend DK weight yarn keeps Jocasta lightweight and has excellent stitch definition. Jocasta is meant to be worn with 0-2” negative ease in the bust. Shown with no ease. Stitch pattern is written and charted.
