Jean sweater by Johanna Gehrisch is a classic raglan sweater with a popping wave-lace-pattern in contrasting colours

The sweater is worked with a classic raglan set-up top down in one piece finished with a hem in 1×1 twisted ribbing. Shortly before the cuffs, a bunch of decreases is worked for a balloon-like sleeve shape. The fit of the sweater is neutral to slightly oversized creating a comfortable fit due to the positive ease of 2 to 12 cm. The length is relatively short for a cropped look of the sweater. The most exciting thing is the wave lace pattern – consisting of garter stitch stripes alternating with lace pattern stripes creating the unique wave lace pattern, which is then emphasised by the two contrasting colours.
