Frankie Sweater

The Frankie Sweater is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke.

Short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The body is worked in the round, and sleeves are worked in the round using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique.

The sweater features narrow stripes throughout.

The sweater is designed with approx. 20 cm of positive ease.
