"The Lakes Sweater" Kniting Pattern

The Lakes Sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. It starts with the neckband. The shoulder section is then shaped with raglan increases. A pattern of half fisherman’s rib and garter stitch is knitted across the entire sweater.
The sweater is designed as a reversible sweater and can later be worn on both sides. The sleeves are designed to be a bit wider.
Some of my patterns are inspired by Taylor Swift songs, including this sweater. I was inspired by the album “folklore”.
