This sweater is a quick, easy daydream that’ll make the perfect statement piece for your fall wardrobe. It’s a raglan sweater and is knitted top down in one piece.

It can be styled with it’s wide neckline on or off of the shoulder. And it’s got options for a longer length with a hem that can be folded over or slightly shorter and looser hem that incorporates a textured stitch pattern on the back half of the sweater.

I made two samples. One incoporates positive ease and one with negative ways. There are lots of ways to style this sweater.

Gauge 16 stitches and 22 rounds = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette Stitch worked in the round on gauge needles, after blocking.

Suggested Needles* to determine YOUR gauge: knit a gauge swatch

US Size 6 / 4 mm circular needle, (or one size smaller than the gauge needle) for the ribbed neckband and hem. Plus double-pointed needles or a magic loop needle for the ribbed cuffs.

US Size 7 / 4.5 mm circular needle, (or size needed to obtain gauge) of suitable length for the yoke and body of the sweater. Plus double-pointed needles or a magic loop needle for the ribbed cuffs.
