Juno sweater (ENG)

Juno sweater is boxy, oversized raglan sweater with wide ribbings. It is designed to work as a scrap yarn project, since many different yarn combinations can yield the set gauge as well as it being knitted top down.

First the neckline is knitted and subsequently folded and knitted together. The backpiece is formed using short rows and then the body is knitted in the round with raglan increases. Thereafter, the body and sleeves are separated and each of them is finished with ribbing and Italian bind off. 

Each part is explained thoroughly, which makes it a good beginner pattern.
