Lighthouse is a basic raglan sweater worked in DK-weight yarn, top down in the round. The raglans have 3 stitches that are worked in brioche, so this pattern is perfect for knitters who want to try brioche in a small way! Just enough to get an idea if you like this technique, but not so much that it gets overwhelming.
Lighthouse is designed with positive ease for a comfy fit, but as always, choose the finished size that gives you the fit that you prefer.
This pattern uses German Short Rows for the shoulder shaping. Watch the German Short Row Tutorial.
