The Stargaze Sweater is a soft and cozy sweater, very suitable to wear under a coat or jacket. It is knitted from the hem and upwards with raglan sleeves. Stargaze is knitted with stockinette stitch and has rib on the hem, cuff and neckband. The sweater can be knitted with both short and long collar. Both variations are described in the pattern. The pattern is inspired by the ocean, steep mountains and staregazing nights by the tent. I hope you will enjoy this pattern and play with different colors to mix and match!
