2013 #21 Child's Blue Sweater

Another sweater for NGH using the simple raglan sweater pattern from Patons but modified as follows:

1) used  K1P1 rib instead of K2P2.

2)  Body: used travelling pearl stitch instead of stocking stitch
   i.e.  Row 1 K5P1, Row 3 K4P1, Row 5 K3 P1, etc.

3)Raglan: K2 decrease stitch, k to end instead of decrease stitch at row edge

note: The yarn is much darker than in the photo.  In fact so dark that it was very difficult to knit with in artificial light at night.

The pattern on the body of the sweater is also great on the wrong side.  It would make a great sweater or hat pattern.
