Creamwood Sweater

**Creamwood Sweater** The Creamwood Sweater is a cozy, top-down raglan sweater featuring a harmonious blend of textured stitches. Classic cables, vintage-inspired diamonds, and ladder details come together in a design reminiscent of the stone walls on Jeju Island. The ladder pattern frames the diamonds and continues seamlessly down the body and sleeves, creating a balanced, elongated silhouette. Short-row shaping at the back neck provides a comfortable fit and a softly rounded neckline. **Construction** The sweater is worked from the top down. It begins with short-row shaping for the shoulders and back neck, while raglan and neckline increases are worked at the same time. After the right and left fronts are joined, the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases following the charts. The body and sleeves are then separated and worked separately in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline and the neckband is worked in 1 x 1 rib. Both charted and written instructions are provided for the short-row section. The remaining textured pattern is worked from charts. **Video Tutorials** Video tutorials are included for key techniques and finishing steps, including sleeve separation, working the sleeves, cable techniques, and the folded neckband. **Sizes** M (L) XL (2XL) Size Guide The Creamwood Sweater is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ in] of positive ease.
