Renée is an elegant sweater, with fine details. She’s knitted in a combination of 1 strand of merino and 2 strands of silk mohair. She is a straight, shorter model, with puffy sleeves. The raglan detail continues across the body and on the inside of the sleeves. The sweater is knitted in the round and worked seamlessly from top to bottom.
The pattern seems more difficult than it really is.
Once you've mastered the stitches, it will progress very smoothly. :)
