Little Norma Sweater is a classic raglan sweater. A timeless knit with a beautiful drape and a comfortable loose fit. The neckline is shaped with short rows after the ribbed edge is knitted. The simple yet distinctive multi-coloured pattern is eye catching and reminiscent of the knitting traditions of the 60s and 70s. The design is worked from the top down, so you can try it on along the way.
