KINSAN

from Moon And Turtle: Knitting Patterns with Variations

The Kinsan pullover sweater is a classic striped raglan worked from the neck to the hem. This raglan was designed to coordinate with the Ginsan Cardigan. The pattern is written with options for three body lengths, two sleeve lengths and two neck variations to choose from. Choose a stripe sequence from the pattern or make your own!
