The basic raglan pullover is elevated by eyelet bands worked in a contrast color. Julie set out to create a seamless sweater that “covers all the bases— familiar and simple, but with plenty of attention to beautiful details and a look that is balanced between feminine and sporty.”
With an attractive scoop neck, bracelet-length sleeves, a gently shaped waist, and an easy fit throughout, Elmont is a natural for layering or wearing alone. The myriad possible color combinations may mean you’ll want more than one of these pretty pullovers in your closet!

Sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. Please test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
