The minimalist shape lets the yarn and the colour play the lead, and the result is a garment that never goes out of style.

Summertime – The Sweater is knitted from the bottom up. Body and sleeves are knitted separately before they are joined with a classic raglan decrease. The high neck and the clean lines give the sweater a timeless look that works just as well every day as on more relaxed occasions.

The pattern is written with clear explanations and a good workflow in mind. That makes Summertime – The Sweater a perfect project if you want to knit your first raglan sweater, while the result is a garment you will wear for many years.

Tjukk Mohair gives the design a soft, airy and warm quality with a beautiful halo. The sweater is light on the body and comfortable to wear both on its own and layered, all year round.

This is a perfect base pattern if you want to experiment with colour. Knit it in natural tones for a classic look, or pick strong seasonal colours to give the design a completely new character.
