DESCRIPTION
The perfect crewneck raglan sweater ¬¬– pick a size larger than you usually would, to wear it oversize and achieve a modern look. The stockinette stitch can be the perfect canvas for a beautiful indie-dyed yarn, but you can also play with stripes or gradient effects. You will get a wardrobe stable that will be worn and loved for years.

CONSTRUCTION
Knitted seamlessly top down in stockinette stitch. You start at the neck with some flat increase rows for neck shaping; work increases along the raglan seams; put your sleeve stitches on hold and finish the body. Then you return to your sleeves stitches and finish them in the round. That’s it! A very simple, top-down, beginner-friendly piece of knitting! It’s the big sister of the #Pilosweater (Kids version).
