Just So Classic is just that - classic! This is a simple top-down raglan with minimal shaping and a slightly cropped length so that it hits just above the hips. It is easy to modify to fit any body, and knitters can easily add their own flair to it! It’s designed for Wool and the Gang Feeling Good Yarn, but any fuzzy bulky weight yarn will do! The name was inspired by the fact that the day this wool arrived on my doorstep, Pantone announced that the color of the year for 2020 is Classic Blue. This color is not only my favorite, it’s just so classic!
