Anora

Anora is an a-line shaped, open-style cardigan with seamless top-down raglan construction and features a gradient striping pattern at the bottom. A total of 4 colors will be needed (in worsted-weight): your main color and then 3 additional for the stripes and front bands. This is a great beginner sweater pattern that combines lots of basic sweater techniques: knitting from the top-down, adding stripes, picking up stitches and working short rows (to shape the shawl collar). It's an open-style cardigan meaning the front bands are not designed to overlap in the front (but can be stretched a bit and secured with a shawl pin or clasp if you like).
