Argentia

Argentia

Argentia is a top-down raglan pullover with A-line shaping in the body. The beautiful Fair Isle across the yoke is argyle inspired, and the cable and lace panels adorning the front and back provide a subtle focal effect to the centre of the body. It's knit top down with raglan shaping along the cables and in the Fair Isle band, then some short row shaping is worked before dividing for the sleeves. After dividing for sleeves, the lower body is worked in the round to the hem and the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuffs.

Argentia is part of the Landed series, Volume 1. You can find Volume 1 here: Landed, Volume 1: The Avalon, Timeless Lace and Stranded Knitting Patterns for the Adventurous Handknitter
