The Lavender Dip Sweater is named due to the colour blocking "dip" dye kind of look. It has a short ribbed collar and is worked top down raglan style. The sleeves and bottom edge are colour blocked and have a ribbed hem. The sleeves are a loose balloon style sleeve with a fitted ribbed cuff. The bottom hem features a split hem in beaded rib stitch, with a longer back section. The sweater is designed to fall to hip/butt level. This is a #sizeinclusive pattern.
