A top-down seamless design, worked in the round with a simple stockinette stitch with those stylish side ribbed lines. Using a medium-weight yarn, it knits up fast, and the sweater is so comfy, you won’t catch your husband or son taking it off anytime soon!

This men’s sweater is just like the “Her Mellow Mood” Sweater - beginner-friendly and with the same step-by-step video tutorial. The only difference here is in the stitch count, as I’ve designed the men’s version to be more fitted.

♥ SKILL LEVEL: Designed for knitters who know how to knit and purl. The pattern offers step-by-step instructions and a full video tutorial for creating this sweater with confidence.

♥ PATTERN. Instant download PDF file in both cm and inches. Additionally, I’ve prepared a Knitting Project Planner exclusively for the top-down raglan sweater, including a round counter.

♥ LANGUAGE: English (use ChatGPT to translate it into your native language).

♥ METHOD: This sweater is crafted seamlessly using circular needles, and it’s worked from the top down. It starts at the neckline, progressing into a yoke. The yoke is then divided to create both the body and sleeves, which are finished separately.

♥ 8 SIZES: His Mellow Mood sweater comes in sizes from 2XS to 3XL. The smallest size allows you to knit it for your teenage son or grandson.

This sweater is designed with 9-12% positive ease, ensuring you’ll achieve a relaxed and comfortable fit. If you prefer a more fitted look, you can choose to knit a size smaller. Check out the chart on the photo to help you decide which size to choose.
