This is THE basic pattern that everyone should have. It’s worked in the round, top down, all one piece. This versatile pullover is unisex. The neckline is a wide crew-neck style that is only gently shaped in the front if you follow the included optional short row instructions. There are suggestions on many other modifications. The modifications are basic descriptions of: turtle neck, mock neck, waist shaping, A-line shaping, eyelets instead of m1 at raglan and a simple cable panel down the arms. This is a very basic pattern, made for first timers of top down raglan sweaters in the round. It is a regular fitting garment and should be worn with approx 5-10 cm / 2-4 in of ease.

I was also reminded that I put a round of reverse single crochet over the stitches of the cast on. It is the same as regular single crochet, except you are working from left to right, giving the stitch a twist in order to make it work.

With one st on hook, insert hook into next space/st, yo hook, and draw loop through, yo hook and draw through both sts on hook.
Repeat.
