Top down, again,but with the addition of a broad cable flanked by my favorite fake cable (which doesn't show up all that well in these pictures. This is a dark purple yarn and also a bit nubbly, so stitch definition is there but not easily seen in photographs.
You can see the cables much better in this close-up.
Here it is in more of the actual color, so rather dark.
The yarn is Rauma Finull Garn in color 4126, a heathered yarn over a grey base. Sort of between a fingering and sport weight. I used a size 4 needle for everything. The neck and sleeve rib was done with a size 2 needle.
I'm not thrilled with the neckline; next raglan, I'll go with a shaped one; i.e. the back higher than the front.
It's warm and cozy, but probably not warm enough for Jan weather. I do love this yarn, and will use it again and again.

Beautiful! Interesting cable design looks complicated. I have been practicing my first plaited cable. I have a top down raglan pattern I like but have been trying different cables so it doesn’t look like I’m knitting the same pattern over and over but love the fit.
Beautiful pattern and color
