Bleu

Bleu is worked from the top down, first worked back and forth in stockinette stitch, then in the round in a small textured pattern following the chart. Stitches are first cast on for the neck and shoulders, and the neckline is shaped while knitting back and forth in stockinette with lifted increases at the raglan markers. Next, stitches are cast on for the front of the neck, and work continues in the round, still with raglan increases and in the textured pattern according to the chart. When the yoke is finished, the work is divided for the body and sleeves, which are each completed separately and finished with ribbed edges featuring stripes of glitter. Finally, stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is also worked in rib with stripes of glitter.
