Design introduction
OAKWOOD RAGLAN is a bottom-up raglan sweater with a classic silhouette and a beautiful all-over texture, featuring an openwork cable pattern alternating with ribbing, which gives the sweater ample stretch. For this reason, the sweater can be worn with the recommended ease or minimal ease, depending on the desired fit. The unique cable pattern is fun to knit, easy to learn, and requires no cable needle.

The name OAKWOOD was inspired by the textured pattern, which is reminiscent of the bark or twisted branches of an old oak tree.

Sizing
This pattern is designed for 6-16 cm/ 2.25-6.25 in of positive ease. With greater discrepancies in upper chest and full chest measurements, I recommend going with the upper chest measurement. The sample in the photos in size 2 with 14 cm/ 5.5 in ease.
