Pescadero
I love a good raglan. I wear a lot of them, regularly. So when I was designing my own sweater in the make. wear. love. retreat: west coast collection, and thinking about what I wear on the beach, I knew it had to be a raglan.
Pescadero is a bottom-up, in-pieces raglan with compound shaping.
The raglan shaping changes from armhole up to shoulder – sometimes it’s steeper, sometimes it’s shallower — to better match the body. It’s worked with back waist shaping only, to give it a relaxed, but not boxy, feel. The front has a small, allover lace pattern, and I just love the way it worked out.
It’s the single best sweatshirt-y sweater I’ve ever had, and I’ve knit myself a lot of sweaters.
For more information on raglans - how they should fit, why I chose the fabric I did, and lots more, please see this post:
