Who wouldn’t like to have a simple sweater in their wardrobe – something basic that could be knit on circular needles without a lot of fuss?
I have been imagining such a sweater with raglan shaping. It would have a face framing ballet neckline. The increasing would be a classic with yarn overs forming an openwork pattern along the raglan seam. The sleeves would be short and the body would be a tube with little or no shaping. Length would be high hip or mid hip, long enough to wear with jeans and a good length to wear under a jacket.
Lightweight yarn seemed like a good idea, so I chose a DK weight yarn and gauge. The knit fabric would be soft and comfortable to wear. Investing time in such a garment would mean, for me, that the resulting sweater would be hand washable.
