A raglan sweater in mosaic knitting with a voluminous shirt collar. The design was created as part of the Little Isager Archives collection and is a reinterpretation of models from the 60s and 70s archives - from where the inspiration for the mosaic knitting also comes.

The sweater is worked top-down. First, the collar is worked in rib and short rows are made to shape the collar. The work is continued down the yoke in mosaic knit with one or more contrasting colours. The yoke is worked in the round while raglan increases are made.

The work is divided into sleeves and continues on the body.

Rib is worked at the bottom, and finished with a double-knit edge and Italian bind-off.

Stitches are picked up under the arms and the sleeves are worked one at a time. Along the way decreases are made on the inside of the sleeves.
