The Circus Sweater is an exciting and colorful raglan sweater knitted in Organic Merino 300.
The entire sweater showcases a vibrant multicolor pattern, which can be created using as few as 2 colors or as many as you like. Here, we’ve used 12 colors. We have put together some lovely yarn boxes with 12 different colors of Organic Merino, perfect if you want a vibrant and colorful Circus Sweater – you can find them right here.
The Circus Sweater is knitted from the top down, with increases at 4 raglan markers.
You begin with a two-color ribbed neckband and continue knitting in pattern following the chart down to the armholes, where the work is divided into body and sleeves. The pattern extends across both the body and sleeves, which are also finished with a two-color ribbed edge.
