Louisiana Sweater Junior Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit

Louisiana Sweater Junior Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnitThe Louisiana Sweater Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke. The ribbing at the neck edge is folded and knitted together to form the neckline. The sleeves have tight fitting ribbed cuffs. I recommend using the Italian bind off method on cuffs and hem for a neat, elastic edge.
