The Details
Construction: Worked entirely in the round from the top down.

Neckline: A cozy, ribbed mock-neck for a sophisticated touch.

Fit: Form-fitting with a trendy cropped length (easily customizable!).

Skill Level: Beginner If you can double crochet and work in the round, you've got this!

Style Tip: The horizontal stripes created by the variegated yarn give it a unique, "painted" look without the hassle of weaving in ends from color changes.

What You'll Need
Yarn: Light (Weight 3) or Medium (Weight 4) variegated yarn. Featured here in a stunning pink-to-white ombre.

Hooks: Matching hook for the body and a slightly smaller hook for the ribbing.

Notions: Stitch markers (essential for those raglan increases!) and a tapestry needle.

Designer's Note: This pattern is "measure-as-you-go" friendly. Because it's worked top-down, you can try it on as you crochet to ensure the sleeve length and body crop are perfect for your unique shape!
