This raglan top by Nicola Diggins has an elegant colourwork pattern knitted in a lovely British 4ply wool blend. “This would make a beginner- friendly stranded colourwork project, as it uses just two colours in the main section and an easily memorised pattern,” says Nicola. “The pattern shifts from triangles to diamonds then reverses again. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down, so you can try it on as you go. The neck is worked back and forth in rows to raise the back neck and give a comfortable fit.”
