Ruskaretki Sweater
The Ruskaretki raglan sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to adjust the length of the hem to suit both men and women. An easy colourwork pattern adds texture and interest to the surface, making this a colourwork project that even beginners can confidently take on. The sweater is knitted in Novita x Laine DK from the Novita Signature collection, but the pattern is also suitable for Wonder Wool DK.
