Isabella Sweater

This sweater features a tailored raglan construction, using varied rates of increases to ensure a well-balanced fit across all sizes. It is knit seamlessly from the top down, with neck shaping worked flat after the cast-on to shape the neckline—creating an open, comfortable fit at the front and a gentle lift at the back. The design includes softly flared bell sleeves, finished with a delicate lace motif that adds a subtle decorative touch. The same lace detail is repeated in the collar, which is worked by picking up stitches around the neckline once the body is complete. The gauge is slightly airy, allowing for an elegant drape on the sleeves and collar. It makes a light, wearable garment that moves naturally. The sweater is intended to be worn with 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) of positive ease.
