I fell in love with this beautiful Hagrid yarn when I saw it in this lovely hand-dyed color called Morning Dew!

For this special yarn, I’ve wanted to design a raglan sweater that can be knitted in the round from top to bottom. The stitch pattern is worked on the back, front, and lower body, while the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch.

.
The stitch pattern is worked on multiple 8 stitches / 16 rounds and is easily memorized, making it a fun and relaxing project to knit. I’ve added illustrations and visual support to the instructions. The stitch pattern can also be found as a chart and written instructions.

As it was the color of the yarn that guided the creation of this model, the name Jardin de givre (which means Garden of frost in French) seemed ideally suited to this morning dew-colored raglan, which will be pleasant to wear, specifically in cold weather!
