The Forest Haze Sweater features a classic raglan design, making it a great choice for those who are looking to expand their knitting skills beyond scarves and accessories.

This raglan sweater is knit flat (back and forth on straight needles or circulars), with the sleeves and body shaped by decreases or increases at the shoulders, resulting in a beautifully smooth fit.

This pattern uses two needle sizes:

5 mm / US 8 (for ribbed bands, cuffs and neck)
5.5 mm / US 9 (for a slightly looser gauge in the body)
The mix of these needle sizes allows for a well-fitted neckline and hem while giving the body of the sweater a bit of drape.

The result is a flattering and comfortable sweater that can be layered over a light shirt or worn on its own.
