Construction: The Lucy Lace Raglan has a simple raglan construction. Bonus: no purling! No short-row shaping, and you work the lace stitch at the bottom of both the body and sleeves. The lace stitch is a 2-row repeat (super easy to memorize!) and it has written out instructions rather than a chart to make it extra beginner-friendly.

Difficulty Level: Confident Beginner
