Niji Pullover by Eri Shimizu Yarn Kit

niji - Rainbow in Japanese - The Niji Pullover is a raglan pullover worked from the top down, designed for a friend of Eri's workshop. Eri was very impressed the first time she knitted a top-down raglan garment and has been hooked on knitting ever since. Eri was so happy to have knitted a piece of clothing that she wanted to knit it many more times, using different yarns and colorus. The pattern offers options for the collar and hem, but I am sure that once you have knitted one, you will easily be able to make the changes you want to make your own pullover!

For the version pictured the yarn is held double throughout. This creates a warm and light knit which is beautiful to wear. I also added a running stitch along the beautiful raglan to highlight this gorgeous feature on the knit.
