Call for test knitters: Mistbound, lace-sleeved raglan sweater

[u/Talvih]

Mistbound is a soft and lightweight sweater designed to bridge the seasons. Worked in a fluffy DK-weight blown yarn, its cozy fabric is paired with delicate lace sleeves for an airy yet warm feel. The high-hip length makes it ideal for layering over dresses or wearing with skirts, giving your favorite summer pieces a new lease on life as the weather cools.

A versatile transitional piece for those foggy fall mornings, Mistbound is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan construction and a scooped neckline with twisted ribbing folded over to the inside. A matching lace detail at the hem echoes the sleeves while the gently shaped silhouette features subtle waist shaping and optional bust darts for a flattering fit.
