This pattern is knit from the neckline down to the bottom of the waistband on circular needles. The raglan increases are made using yarn overs [YO!] and create a lacy inset where the sleeves join the body, both in front and on the back.

The main color yarn is an olive cotton, joined like speaker wire [side by side] to a strip of copper rayon netting. The trim yarn is a brighter copper nylon microfiber.

Major bonus: almost no finishing!
