A new raglan

 

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.

  1. 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
