Blue Bayou

For pattern support, please go to the questions thread [here][1] ***Blue Bayou*** *is one of these pullovers you will reach for again and again ... one that will make you feel "home" from the first second you wear it* It is knitted seamlessly in rounds from the top down. The welted edges at neck and hem along with the broken seed stitch for the body make this a cool and timeless raglan pullover. You start by working the welted neckline, followed by a few short rows to shape the neckline. Raglan increases are then worked to the final yoke depth, where the sleeve stitches are put on hold. From this point the body is worked in rounds down to the welted hem. Then, the held sleeve stitches are picked up to work the sleeves in rounds top down to the cuffs.
