The only lightweight raglan pattern you’ll need <3

Do you love your raglans, but prefer the tailoring of a set in sleeve?
This pullover, written as both a tee and a long sleeve, uses special shaping calculated at the perfect point on your upper arm to change the angle of the shoulder and reduce fabric in the underarm area! This gives the raglan a cap-sleeve shape, much like a set in sleeve with almost no work! It creates a more flattering line on the upper body and also solves the problem of raglans in larger sizes always having sleeves ending so deep on the torso.

A cute little pocket is added as a swatch and to tuck your treasures into- you can put it anywhere on the body but placement is given for a standard upper breast pocket.

The sport weight yarn is perfect for cozy layers in the cold months and a light tee in the summer- perfectly versatile!

This tee is worked top down in the round, with short row shaping at the neck, then split and worked flat for a small portion of the bottom raglan prior to rejoining in the round. Sleeves are picked up and knit in the round, pocket is knit flat and seamed on.

Intended to be worn with 2-4 inches / 5-10 cm positive ease at bust. Size B modeled with 4”/10 cm positive ease on 32”/84cm bust. Please choose sizing based on high bust.
