Sizes given are finished measurements. You’ll need 3 (4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7) hanks of the recommended yarn to knit the different sizes. Shown in color “Roasted Chestnut”.

Raglans don’t always have to be rustic and loose, and this sweater is proof. A slick, sleek wool-silk blend combines with hand-dyed loveliness and a subtle texture pattern to make a raglan that definitely says “sportswear”, but in a more refined way. The raglan is worked with seams for stability, and I recommend keeping the neckband firm. (It should be structured enough to help the garment lie properly on your body.)
