The WAYFARER RAGLAN 2.0 (2024 version) is a completely revised edition of the original pattern, first published in early 2023. This update includes added schematics with detailed measurements to help you choose the right size, as well as a grading overhaul for improved fit across all sizes and greater size inclusivity. Changes to the pattern writing and layout further improve usability, focusing on making the knitting experience smoother, with clearer instructions and better navigation.
