Mia Sweater (English)

£6.50

This pattern is in English.

Mia Sweater is a roomy sweater with a simple sleeve and side body design that can be worn for everyday elegance. The sweater is worked from the top down in classic raglan and the edges worked in twisted rib. First the neck edge is worked and folded over, then short rows create shape to the neck as part of the yoke. The sweater is then divided for body and sleeves and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. Body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round, and the edges are bound off using your preferred bind off technique.
