Lilly Sweater

The yarn in this pattern is made of 100% natural fibers

The yarn is produced in Norway

The Lilly sweater is knitted from the top down with raglan increases. You start by knitting the neck, which you then knit together. Here, you can choose between a high and a low neck. You increase for the raglan using yarn overs. At the same time as you are knitting with raglan increases, you must knit the pattern provided. The pattern is designed in relation to the raglan increases. Note that there is a different pattern for the sleeves and the front/back piece. There are different charts for the different sizes.
