Prismatic Reflection is a top down raglan sweater with a decorative slipped cabled diamond motif on the front, back, and sleeves. The raglan increases are slipped to mimic the motif. This sweater also features a folded down collar that is knit together at the join for extra reinforcement. Short rows are added at the back neck to shape the neckline for a better fit. This sweater can be knit using solid yarn or a combination of solid and contrasting colored yarns to create a marled effect through the yoke. This pattern has been tech edited and tested.
