Welcome to the Lost Boy Sweater! An all-time classic raglan knit with a nice point of difference in the varying stripes and colours. I don’t know where I came up with this idea, but I loved how the colours contrasted in such a simple but effective way. I used a raglan sleeve because I find it lays naturally around the shoulders. The raglan style also allows the stripes to match up evenly under the armpits.
A few things came to me when I was naming this jumper. The first reason was that I stumbled across knitting when I was a little bit lost in life and knitting gave me an amazing direction. The second reason was that I created and knitted a very similar jumper to this one and I happened to lose it on a night out with friends. The jumper was lost but it was reborn in a better version of the Lost Boy.
