Maine Raglan Jacket
About the Design
This raglan cardigan was designed for everyday wear. It has textural interest, without being complicated to knit, and its easy shape will look good on wearers of many sizes.
It’s neutral coloring will go with almost any outfit and be a comfortable, classic addition to your wardrobe. Knowledge of steeking is needed, tho one could opt to work the jacket back and forth.
Bartlettyarns’ Maine wool 3-ply yarn makes a quick and warm sweater that will chase the chill off a winter’s night or chilly office.
The roomy pockets and front opening are edged in single crochet and slip stitch. Elegant pewter clasps add the finishing touch. Matching mittens have long cuffs for folding up or leaving long, on windy days.
