Real Easy Raglan
This raglan sweater is designed to be really easy, hence the name, and would be a great project for first-time garment knitters. With it’s relaxed and comfortable fit you will find yourself reaching for this sweater often, and it’s simplicity makes it a fantastic wardrobe staple.
The pattern includes detailed instructions with some handy extra tips for newbies. Starting at the neck, the sweater is knit top-down on circular needles, which is a great method to check the fit as you go, and is very easy to add or subtract length. There are also optional short-rows to shape the neck, but if you want to keep things super simple just leave them on out!
I hope you enjoy knitting your own Real Easy Raglan!
