I wrote this as a basic pattern, as though it would be knitted in one color, but if you want a rainbow one like mine I'd recommend three lace repeats per color. (Red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, purple.)I yet again did not do gauge. Oops! I just eyeballed it and made sure it was smaller than what I'd normally wear, because I want it to fit tightly. The lace is really stretchy (think Saturday Market Bag) so I don't think it'll be a big deal.
This is knit in top-down raglan style.
BasicYou'll need: 2 skeins of worsted weight yarn in any color, size 15 circular needles, size 15 DPNs (optional: you probably only need them if you're making it long-sleeve), and stitch markers
Body:
CO 44 st, join in round, pm.
k1 round
1. (k2tog, yo) four times, pm, (k2tog, yo) seven times, pm, (k2tog, yo) four times, pm, (k2tog, yo) seven times, pm.
2. (kf&b, k to 1 before marker, kf&b) to end
3. (yo, k2tog) to end
4. (kf&b, k to 1 before marker, kf&b) to end
Repeat rounds 1-4 twice, except round 1 will just be "(k2tog, yo) to end". Split off sleeves, remove markers
1. (K2tog, yo) to end
2. k to end
3. (yo, k2tog) to end
4. k to end
Repeat rounds 1-4 until desired length. (Try it on as you go!)
K1 round
BO.
Short sleeve:
Transfer live stitches from st holder to needles (22 st is what I had I believe), k1 round, BO.
Long sleeve:I haven't personally done the long-sleeve one because I didn't have size 15 DPNs and I didn't want to wait to get them, but I started trying to do them on a short circular needle.
Start the same way, by transferring the live stitches from st holder to needles, and add a st marker.
Work the same rounds 1-4 as for the body, but every sixth round knit as follows:
k2tog, k to last 2 stitches, k2tog.
Work until it's the desired length.
K1 round
BO.
