Raspberry Sweater

The Raspberry Sweater is a natural addition to the collection of berry sweaters. It stands out from the others by being knitted top down, featuring a back neckline shaping, a slightly a-lined body and an i-cord neckband edge. Try the sweater on as you knit to achieve the perfect length. The ribbing on the body and sleeves is about 4 cm. *If you wonder how the sweater looks when it's finished, take a look at the Lingonberry Sweater or Blueberry Sweater as the body is similar to these sweaters.* **[Blueberry Sweater][1] [Cloudberry Sweater][2] [Lingonberry Sweater][3]** **Size guide** The measurements in this pattern is only correct if the given gauge is achieved.
