Toile No.2 is a DK gauge Raglan with simple instructions that allows a knitter to make themselves that perfect basic bottom up and seamed.

Design Notes: The pattern is worked flat from the bottom up and seamed. The sleeves are knit flat and seamed into place after finishing the back and front of the pieces. The round neckline is picked up and finished at the end. Please note you may finish the collar however you prefer but the sample is shown with a 2x2 rib collar that is not doubled. All the meterage are estimates that assume a 40cm sleeve and a 56cm length from the back of neck.

I do not instruct where to place markers throughout the pattern, this is reflective of my knitting style. You may want to place locking markers every ten rows in the main fabric centre of you back and front. Placing markers in the fabric the rows before you begin shoulder shaping may help with shaping later.

The decreases used are written without a cable needle, they can also be performed with a cable needle; however, these instructions are not provided.

Where specific technical instruction is not provided please use your preferred methods, needle styles, lengths, and other assorted notions.

The pattern uses provisional tubular cast-ons throughout and the instructions are located in the pattern under the beginning of the body section labelled cast on. If you do not wish to use this cast on method simply cast on the number of stitches stated for the body and the sleeves. I recommend seaming in a coordinating sock yarn for best results. A garter stitch selvedge noted as GSS will be maintained at all side edges throughout the pattern, knit this stitch on every row.
