Numisma is a loose-fitting raglan pullover worked in the round from the bottom up. A simple cable motif (which can be worked without a cable needle) decorates the front and back of the yoke. There are two small underarm seams, a button closure at the back of the neck, and directions are included for an optional belt.

Yarn: You will need approximately 330 yards of a soft worsted-weight wool in a solid colorway for best results. (Pictured: Elann Peruvian Highland Wool in Forest Glade Heather – worsted, 3 skeins / 150g / 327 yards, 100% wool)

Supplies:

• US size 8 16” needle
• 4 US size 8 double-pointed needles
• US size 8 cable needle or other cabling method of your choice
• stitch holders or waste yarn
• stitch marker
• 1” button

Sizing: Finished sweater will measure approximately 25” at the waist and approximately 11” from the neck to the hem. It is sized to fit an 18-to-24-month-old child with approximately 4 inches of ease in the torso. The optional belt allows the sweater to be cinched in at the waist if desired.
