Cabana Sweater

Cabana Sweater has a classic raglan structure with a unique texture detail on the sleeve. The perfect sweater to layer over a summer dress or paired with jeans for a relaxed, classic look. The sweater is worked from the top down. First the neck edge is worked and folded over, then short rows create shape to the neck as part of the yoke. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges are bound off using your preferred bind-off technique. **Sizes:** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) **Bust circumference of finished garment:** 102 (106) 111 (117) 127 (137) 146 (156) cm **Upper arm circumference of finished garment:** 39 (41) 43 (45) 47 (47) 47 (49) cm **Recommended length of finished garment:** 52 (54) 55 (56) 58 (60) 62 (64) cm (measured mid-back excluding neck edge) **Recommended length of finished sleeve:** 43 cm **Yoke depth:** 23 (23) 23.5 (23.5) 25 (28.5) 30.5 (33) cm (measured from mid-back excluding neck edge) **Gauge:** 20 sts x 28 rows in both stockinette stitch and in sleeve pattern on 4.5mm needles = 10 x 10 cm after blocking. **Needles:** Circular needles: 3mm (25-40 cm), 4mm (40-120 cm), 4.5mm (40-120 cm) **Materials:** 350 (350) 400 (400) 400 (450) 500 (500) g Le Petit Organic Cotton by Biches and Bûches (100g = 300m) held together with 150 (150) 150 (150) 150 (200) 200 (200) g Alpaca 1 by Isager (50 g = 400m).
