Here's to Dreaming

Here’s to Dreaming is an elegantly simple classic: a top-down compound raglan, offering a relaxing, easy knit with a great fit, creating a wardrobe staple that can be worn and enjoyed for years to come.

CONSTRUCTION This garment is worked top-down, mostly in the round. The neckhole is cast on and initially worked flat, then joined in the round. A compound (modified) raglan construction is used to shape the yoke. Once armscye depth is reached, body and sleeve stitches are separated and each worked in the round. Both are finished with 2x2 ribbing. Stitches around the neckhole are picked up and worked in 2x2 ribbing in the round to form the neckband.
