Murcie Sweater
About the Pattern:
This top-down raglan features an oversized bat-wingesque construction to make the fit comfortable and chic. The body then tapers down from the oversized yoke to a long stretch of 2x2 ribbing at the bottom of the sweater. Please also note that this sweater is meant to drape out somewhat right at the transition to the ribbing on the bottom of the body. So if you think that your sweater is getting too long, don’t fear as the blousing will take care of the extra length.
