Pattern: My own, boys 7, following Barbara Walker's raglan instructions in Knitting from the Top
Yarn: Gjestal Superwash sport (rust, gray) Online Linie 21 Marly (other colors) on 4mm needles, 6.5st/1"
The backstory: this was my 4th attempt at making my son a sweater with this yarn. I finished it for Christmas 2006. For Christmas 2007 I lengthened the sleeves and body since he wanted to wear his favorite sweater again. So nice to have one's work appreciated!
"XPlus"Mosaic: CC=black squares. Start and end each pattern rep with 2 rounds of CC
I developed this band mosaic pattern around the "Greek Cross" central motif that I saw in BWII.
If you're unfamiliar with mosaic knitting, the square at the extreme right shows which color is used on the round. (Start with st "1;" do not work the extreme right square when working rounds.) k all st that match the square, slip the opposite color (yarn on WS). Each rnd is repated twice.
