Information
The Shoal of Fish Sweater 1 is a soft and cosy raglan sweater knitted in DROPS Alpaca and DROPS Kid Silk. The distinctive school of fish motif gives the sweater a unique maritime appearance, while the remainder of the sweater is straightforward knitting, allowing the colourwork to stand out beautifully.
This knitting kit includes yarn for your chosen size together with the digital knitting pattern. The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with broad raglan shaping and stranded colourwork across the body and sleeves. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of stranded colourwork and raglan shaping.
