This is the pattern for the diamond drop sweater, both thin and thick version.
The sweater is knitted in Peer Gynt yarn from Sandnes yarn.
The sweater is worked from the top down. It has a repeating pattern.
New stitches that are increased in the raglan increases are worked into the pattern.
It is a roomy sweater with wide sleeves; if you want a narrower version, you can go down a size.
After the raglan increases, the work is divided into sleeves and front and back pieces, which are worked separately in the roun on circular needles. The measurements given are indicative; you can measure the length of both sleeves and body along the way to ensure that the sweater fits you as you wish.
The pattern is calculated for each size. For the best and finest result, the pattern is started and finished equally on each side of the raglan stitch on the sleeves and ball, so that the pattern is mirrored around the raglan stitches.
