Gil sweater

Thank you to the test knitters who gave this sweater a test run!
The pattern is fully written and includes a measurement chart.
The knit kits are 25% off at Yarnz2go through 2/12/25 or as long as stock lasts.
This raglan sweater is a quick knit.
A complimentary yarn in a mercerized cotton is used for the neckline, ribbed bottom and the slits of the sleeves, which lends a nice detail! This yarn is a sport weight held with a triple strand.
The fit is comfortable, with the body growing a bit more just under the armhole and again in the back, towards the bottom to give you just a bit extra room.
The pattern is fully written for sizes ranging from 34/36”, (38/40”, 42/44” 46/48”), 50” with a positive ease of 21”to 30” at bottom hem depending on size worked right into pattern when gauge is reached.
