Rib Lace Raglan Version 2.0 is now available! Enjoy the improved fit of added neckline shaping, more specific increase directions, a new tutorial video, and a helpful table to keep track of your stitch counts throughout the yoke!

Rib Lace Raglan is a minimal and beautiful raglan sweater. Columns of knit stitches are broken up by columns of simple lace. The lace pattern is only two stitches (yarn over and knit 2 together) and has a two-row repeat, so it is quickly memorized and easy to knit. Rib Lace Raglan uses an all over lace texture while still being very full coverage. Rib Lace Raglan is designed to be knitted with short sleeves, but the pattern includes notes on how to modify it for full length sleeves too! Enjoy knitting and wearing this sweater in any season.
