Designed for Blacker Yarns
This raglan jumper is knitted seamlessly in the round from the bottom up. Sleeves and body are worked
separately to the underarms, then joined to knit the yoke. Short rows are worked to shape the neckline
before finishing with a rolled neckband. All cable motifs are charted, and are worked over a six-row
repeat.

preferred). Join to knit in the round and PUM to
indicate beginning of round
Work 16 rounds in 1x1 rib (k1, p1)
Change to 4mm needles and increase as follows:

alike for all sizes. You may find it helpful to
place stitch markers in your work between each
of the charts
Cable Pattern is now worked over six rounds
from Charts A, B1, B2 and B3 and C, twice per
round: once for the front, once for the back as
per the following example:
Round 1: Work round 1 of Chart A, Charts B1, B2
