Happy Go Lucky Sweater

ABOUT THE PATTERN
DIFFICULTY: Beginner/Intermediate

The Happy Go Lucky Sweater is a relaxed and spacious sweater with a long yoke, balloon sleeves, and a folded neckband. It is knitted top-down with raglan increases, allowing you to try it on as you go and adjust the length and fit as desired.

The pattern provides a thorough introduction to raglan increases and short rows. It also includes video guides for all techniques.

This sweater is designed to be knitted with leftover yarn. It is no more difficult than knitting with regular yarn – you simply change colour whenever you wish.

The sweater is designed with 25 cm of positive ease. Measure yourself at the widest part of your chest and add 25 cm to your measurement. For example, if your chest measurement is 96 cm + 25 cm = 121 cm, then you should knit size Large.
