Stripes Sweater for Chunky Benji

STRIPES RAGLAN SWEATER FOR CHUNKY BENJI

This little strip-y sweater was designed to fit my Chunky Benji crochet pattern. The sweater is worked top down with raglan increases. The body is worked back and forth for a few rounds and then closed to be worked in the round. When the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the underarm stitches are cast on. Then the body stripes worked down to the ribbing with shaping increases. Sleeve stitches are then picked up again to be worked top down in the round to the end. The result is a fine knitted raglan to keep our Chunky Bear warm and happy.

KNITTING LEVEL
The pattern is written step-by-step followed with a few video tutorials from my YouTube channel. In these videos I show 'how to' on some of the basics it'll make it easier for you to follow even if you are a beginner. However, I wouldn't recommend it as a first knitted project.
