Named for a little seaside town in Oregon, Astoria features a top-down seamless raglan design, body darts, mid-length sleeves, and the focal point, a striking stranded colorwork band.
This piece is designed with no ease to hug the body, but you can always knit a size larger or omit the body shaping if you prefer a relaxed fit. You can also knit the body or sleeves longer. However, keep in mind that these modifications will require extra yarn.

This pattern is also available as part of The Manzanita Collection. All three patterns for $18 which is a savings of $6.99.
