Trekking Forward is a tunic-length, raglan pullover that is a perfect transition garment to wear throughout the year when just little more warmth is needed. Lacy sleeves add a bit of flare to this tunic. The lace pattern is just right for a beginning lace knitter. For statement makers, sleeves can be knit in a contrasting color. Andalusian ribbing adds texture to body and sleeve edges, and there is a choice of body type—Straight or A-Line.

The pullover body is worked in the round from the bottom up, with optional A-Line shaping. Raglan shaping is specific to body type. Section headers indicate what body type directions apply to. Short rows are worked at back neckline.

Sample is 38” Single Color; model is 35”

Stitch pattern is both written and charted.
