My favorite food is cake - coffee cake, layer cake, sheet cake, angel cake, cheesecake - just give me cake (frosting optional)! I’ve named this simple raglan pullover Marble Cake, because the pattern of the variegated colors reminds me of my favorite dessert. I can just taste the lemon and raspberry flavors in this sample! (Try my recipe, which is included with the pattern!)

This is a basic DK weight raglan pullover sweater for men and women. Finished sizes are available from 30”-54”, at 2” increments. There is minimal positive ease in this design, so choose a larger size if you prefer more ease.

Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm) and US 6 (4 mm) circular needles, or size needed to reach gauge; for body use a needle 32” or longer, for sleeves 12” or longer. You may substitute dpns for sleeves.

Stitch markers
Stitch holders or waste yarn
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
