    Awesome chunky top-down raglan with sexy shaping and sheer mohair stripe

    Yarn: MC - Brown Sheep Co. Lamb’s Pride Bulky in “Orange You Glad” 3[5,6] skeins
    (125 yds/skein, 85% wool, 15% mohair)
    CC - Steadfast Fibers Marvelous Mohair in “Sedona” 2[2,2] skeins
    (110 yds/2oz, 73% mohair, 13% wool, 13% nylon)
    Note: For a size S, only a small fraction of the second skein of Marvelous Mohair is
    needed. To avoid having to buy the second skein, buy 4 skeins of the LP Bulky, and work
    another 1-2” of the sleeves in that yarn before switching to the mohair (see sleeves on pg.
    3)
    Gauge: 3St/4 rows = 1” in St st. on size #11 US needles
    Size: women’s S[M, L] (30-34”[35-37, 38-40] bust)
    Note: Bust is a close fit. Waist comes in 2 inches from bustline, then flares out 2” again
    at hips.

    CO 68[68,68] st in MC, placing a marker after every 17th stitch (4 markers evenly spaced
    total) and join. K 2 rounds in a K1xP1 ribbing.

    Small: Repeat the pattern of rounds within the brackets 10 times:


    [R1: K around in stockinette stitch, but M1 one stitch before and one stitch after every
    marker (8 increases total).
    R2 & 3: K around in St st.]
    Medium: Repeat the pattern of rounds within the brackets 12 times:
    [R1: K around in stockinette stitch, but M1 one stitch before and one stitch after every
    marker (8 increases total).
    R2: K around in St st.]
    On next round, K 6 rounds even
    Large: Repeat the pattern of rounds within the brackets 14 times:
    [R1: K around in stockinette stitch, but M1 one stitch before and one stitch after every
    marker (8 increases total).
    R2: K around in St st.]
    On next round, K 2 rounds even.
    You should now have 148[164,180] stitches and 32[32,32] rows total.

    Choose one of the quarter panels to be the front panel of the sweater. There should be 37
    [41,45] stitches in each panel (from center of raglan line to center of next raglan line).
    Take all the stitches of this panel, plus 4[5,5] on either side of the markers (45[51,55]
    stitches total) and place them on the #11 needle. Do the same for the 45[51,55] stitches at
    the back of the sweater. The remaining 29[31,35]stitches on either side of the sweater
    will later become the sleeves. Place these on stitch holders or scrap yarn.

    2
    You should now have 90[102,110] stitches total on your #11 circular needle (or double
    pointed needles). Pm, join, K45[51,55], pm, K to end of round. Knit in St st until body
    measures 14” from top of shoulders.

    Begin waist shaping:


    R1: K2 tog, K to two before next marker, SSK, K to end.
    R2: K around
    R3: K to next marker, slip marker, K2tog, K to two before end, SSK.
    R4: K around
    R5: K2 tog, K to two before next marker, SSK, K to end.

    Break MC and pick up CC. Knit in St st with CC for 3”.

    Break CC and pick up MC. K 2 rounds in MC yarn.

    Hip shaping:
    R1: K1, M1, K to one before next marker, M1, K to end.
    R2: K around
    R3: K to next marker, slip marker, K1, M1, K to one before end, M1, K1.
    R4: K around
    R5: K1, M1, K to one before next marker, M1, K to end.

    Knit MC in St st until sweater body is the desired length.


    K 2 rounds in K1xP1 ribbing. BO loosely in pattern.

    I recommend knitting BO row with a #15 US needle. This allows for a good amount of
    slack, so the bottom can stretch. You will want to iron the bottom ribbing flat.

    Sleeves (one each side):

    Place the 29[31,35] held stitches on the #11 needle. Pick up 4 stitches along the side of
    the body, where the underarm will be. Join and knit 3 rounds.

    Repeat the following pattern throughout the entire sleeve:


    [R1 - 11: K around
    R12: K2 tog, K around]

    K 24 rounds St st in MC, then break MC yarn and pick up CC yarn.

    K 48 rounds in CC yarn, continuing decrease pattern.

    3
    Break CC and pick up MC. Knit 3 rounds St st, then 3 rounds in a K1xP1 ribbing. BO
    loosely.

    Finishing:

    Work in any loose ends. Block if necessary. Finished measurements are 30”[34”,37”] at
    bust (unstretched), 19” length for sleeves (cuff to underarm), 11”[12,13] at widest point
    of arm, and 9”[10,11] at cuff.
