This loose fitting raglan sweater is a great garment to throw on over any top or to simply wear alone. Minimum use of short rows adds a bit of length to the back for a slightly dramatic effect while keeping the pattern fun and simple to knit. This sweater is intended to be cropped but you can easily add length if you want a longer sweater.

Sweater comes in 2 sizes.
