This is a perfect “first sweater” to knit. This sweater
uses the basic raglan top down construction, adding
just a little embellishment on the bottom with a split
high/low ribbed hem, as well as a folded cuff.

Details :
(Smaller needle) Body: US size 5 / 3.75 mm circular
needles between 16 and 40” / 40 and 100 cm to be
worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular
needle, DPNs or preferred method of small
circumference knitting.

(Larger needle) Body: US size 8 / 5 mm circular
needles between 16 and 40” / 40 and 100 cm to be
worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular
needle, DPNs or preferred method of small
circumference knitting.

(Since the collar can be worked with a 16”/40 cm
circular, as the knitting grows, you may want to
transition to 24”/60 cm, then 32”/80 cm, then 40”/100
cm circular needle to be worked in the round.)

Notions :
Stitch markers (4 total; 1 unique for BOR, 3 to mark the
raglans) ; scissors; row counter (suggested); darning
needle to weave in ends; waste yarn or stitch holders
to hold your sleeve stitches.

Notes :
This raglan-style sweater is knit top down, using
circular needles worked in the round. The sleeves are
put on holders, and the rest of the body is knit first.
I recommend, before starting this knit, you take out a
sweater that you enjoy the fit of, and measure across
the front of it from underarm to underarm to determine
the size (multiply the measurement by 2 to get the full
circumference of your sweater). I would then take a
look at the finished garment measurements and
determine what size you would like to knit.
