DIY Kit - Princess Sweater

The front and back of this sweater are worked separately from the hem to the end of raglan shaping. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff to the armhole, then in rows to the end of raglan shaping. The front, back, and sleeves are then joined and the yoke is worked in the round through the turtleneck. Finally, the raglan seams and the side seams are sewn together.

Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
