Description
Veronik Avery has worked a combination of two- and four-stitch, left- and right-leaning cables to provide elegant lines for this sophisticated raglan. The body and sleeves are worked in the round to the armholes then the yoke is worked back and forth in one piece to the neck, with a button opening positioned along the left raglan line. The shiny cotton-rayon yarn adds a subtle holiday shimmer.
