Nelumbo sweater is a nice and fluffy raglan sweater. It has a beautiful twisting pattern over the yoke, which ends in stockinette knitting.
Nelumbo sweater is knitted in the round from top to bottom. First, the neckline is knitted, which bends down and becomes double. It is knitted together with the CO edge in an elastic way that makes it easy to get the sweater over your head. Then short rows are knitted to shape the neckline, at the same time as raglan increases start. The pattern and raglan increases continue according to diagram. The work is divided, and the body is knitted first according to diagram and then in stockinette knitting. The sleeves are knitted in the round from top to bottom in the same way as the body. Both body and sleeves are finished with Italian double-ribbed closure.
