Woven Strands Sweater knitting pattern

The Woven Strands Sweater is a raglan sweater with a pattern that reminds of woven fabric or a woven basket.

The Woven Strands Sweater is worked seamless from the top down with a beautiful pattern. The shoulders are formed by raglan increases. After finishing the raglan increases, the sleeves are set aside and the body is worked in rounds. The number of stitches is slightly decreases before knitting the waistband to make it a bit tighter. The sleeves are also worked in rounds and are rather wide. Here the number of stitches are also slightly decreased before working the cuff.
