Yippee! The winter issue of Petite Purls is live and my first ever seamless, bottom-up, raglan sweater is part of it!
The sweater is called “Ryuu-ko” which means “Dragon Child” in Japanese. The sweater is sized for 2T, 4, 6, 8, and 10 and can also be found on Ravelry.
I was surprised how quickly this sweater knit up and when I was finished, I was finished. No sewing seams. Ah, that was really nice and perfect for my impatient boy who couldn’t wait to wear his dragon sweater.
I’ve also used Knit Picks’ Wool of the Andes for the first time. It was a great yarn for this project and I can highly recommend it. The yarn cost came out to about $15 for a size 6. You can’t beat that for a wool sweater!

Yay! I can leave a comment about how wonderful I think your new pattern is– I’m shopping for yarn tomorrow
Congrats!

For the first time in a long time, this pattern actually *spoke* to me. Sounds strange, I know, but seeing it actually brought feelings that have been swirling around my everyday life into clarity and I had to cast on immediately! I wrote a bit about it on my blog–moms of boys will understand.
