Blue Bayou

Description

Blue Bayou is knitted seamlessly in rounds from the top down. 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. The welted edges at neck and hem along with the broken seed stitch for the body make this a cool and timeless raglan pullover.

Sample is worn with approximately 4″ (10 cm) positive ease at bust
