ABOUT
A sweater for your mini skein sets! This pattern includes colour plans for three types of mini skein sets: 20 minis, 24 minis (or 20 minis plus 1 full skein), and 24 minis + 1 full skein. Every round is written out for all three version. This sweater is a compound raglan using my Resource Raglan framework — although this pattern is complete on it’s own. The compound raglan and short rows results is a really comfortable fit and neckline. The rest of the sweater is worked in the round. The sample was knit using Coast to Coast Yarn Co’s Fantasy Coffeehouse themed mini skein set.

this listing will be updated with colour photos on January 1st to protect the secret colourways until the end of their countdown

EASE
This sweater can fit however you like! I knit the sample to fit the intended wearer with 0 - 4 inches of positive ease. When selecting a size, I would encourage you to think about how you like things to fit your own body. If you like a closer-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 2 - 4 inches of positive ease. If you like a looser-fitting garment, choose a Finished Chest Circumference with 6 - 8 inches of positive ease, or more!
