Ebbs & Flows raglan

Worked top-down in the round, seamlessly, from the neckline to the hem, ***Ebbs & Flows*** is a raglan construction sweater designed with a high-hip finished body length & long sleeves. This design features mosaic (slipstitch) colorwork designs before the hem and sleeve cuffs. There are two options for the contrast sleeve cuffs: Herringbone stitch or Twisted Ribbing. ***Ebbs & Flows*** is knit primarily in the round, with the exception for German short rows incorporated below the neckline, for a more comfortable fit. **Sizing** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) Designed to fit with approximately 4” / 10 cm of positive ease at the chest. **Finished chest Circumference** 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60, 64, 68)” / 80 (90, 100, 110, 120) (130, 140, 150, 160, 170) cm *Measurements & schematic included in photos* **Suggested Needles & Notions** *Needle sizes listed are suggestions.
