Calliope is a raglan-style sweater knit in the round from the top down featuring expanding rib at the neckline, simple rib at the hem, and long, dramatic sleeve cuffs.

- 4 stitch markers to indicate beginning of round, raglan increase points, and sleeve ribbing - it would be helpful if the first (BOR) marker looked different from the other three
- Stitch holders or waste yarn to place sleeve stitches on hold
- Tapestry needle to weave in ends
Note: The two smallest sizes may require 12” circular needles or double-pointed needles for the sleeves.
