Moonlit Sprig, a beautifully simple yet elegantly detailed raglan sweater perfect for first-time sweater knitters and seasoned makers alike. This pattern offers a modern twist on the classic top-down raglan, featuring a decorative raglan that creates a subtle, eye-catching detail at the shoulders.

Designed to flatter all body types, Moonlit Sprig is a celebration of comfort and style. It’s suggested to select a size with 2-6.5”/5-16.5 cm of positive ease for a relaxed, sweatshirt-like fit that’s both versatile and fashionable. 

Additionally, this pattern is highly customizable: the high-low hemline can be easily adjusted to your preferred length, and with no waist shaping, the sweater drapes effortlessly for a casual, carefree silhouette. Instructions are included to add bust darts and to modify your bicep for a custom fit for you.

Whether you’re curling up at home or out on a chilly evening, Moonlit Sprig is the ideal pullover, promising both warmth and a touch of sophistication to your handmade wardrobe.
