ASAP Sweater from Garnsk
Short raglan sweater which is relatively windproof and good as outerwear in the transition season.  It also works well indoors, where it is not too hot. It follows the body without being tight. It is knitted from top to bottom with a double neckline in twisted rib, where 5 stitches are carried down along the upper edge of the sleeve to finally join the ribbed edge of the sleeve. Turned rib at edges of sleeves and body with sewn closure.
