Rascal Spirit is a cute, relaxed, over-sized pullover with a warm, tall turtleneck. The sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. It has raglan sleeves, and the raglan seams are decorated with little leaves. The hem has both lace and colorwork on it. The showstopper, of course, being the sweetest little raccoon with its paw prints all over the place. The back of the neck is shaped taller with short rows.
