The BA sweater is a hip-length knit piece with folded neck, 3/4 narrowing sleeves and slits on both sides of the hem. It’s worked top-down using raglan increases M1R and M1L, with a Rib stitch pattern for the neck, cuffs and bottom. The sweater has a neckline. With 30 cm (12in) of positive ease, it’s always comfortable to wear - plus you can easily extend the length by estimating more yarns.
