Pattern "Louisiana Sweater Junior" - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in English. - Paper Format

The Louisiana Sweater Junior is worked top-down with raglan increases on the yoke. The rib edge at the neck opening is folded and knitted down to form the neckband. The sleeves have tight ribbed cuffs. I recommend using the Italian bind-off method on the cuffs and hem for a neat and elastic edge.

Before you begin knitting the sweater, start by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size gives you the correct gauge.
