Origami Sweater PDF Sewing Pattern

The Origami sweater takes the basic raglan sweater to a whole other level - it features an eye-catching "V" colorblock and a cross-over collar or hood. The "V" colorblock comes in 2 different variations - a basic or pieced "V". The shape is enhanced by the diagonal side seams. Next to the sweater length, the Origami also includes a dress length which hits above the knee. Other options include: long & short sleeves, kangaroo pocket and thumbhole cuffs. 

Techniques involved include sewing with knits, straight seams, attaching ribbing and sewing corners.
