Mod Christmas Sweater Crochet Pattern

This Mod Christmas Sweater Crochet Pattern is a raglan style sweater with cute striped sleeves. I went with some modern Christmas colors for my sleeves, but they can be made in any color combination. This is my first raglan sweater design and I LOVE IT. The best part is there is no sewing. NONE. There are quite a bit of ends due to the stripes, but still… no sewing!
