The Do the Raglan Sweater is a pattern with two sections: a regular knitting pattern with sizes and specific instructions for yarns meeting gauge and a section where you can pick any measurements, any yarn gauge and with a little math, can create your own pattern!

The sweater knits up quickly from the top down. The neckline is shaped working back and forth and then the yoke is knit in the round. The sleeves and body are then separated and worked in the round.

Pattern Language: English

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

Size guide

The pattern includes directions for 10 sizes in addition to the ‘Do the Math’ section where there are detailed instructions on how to create any size you want!
