Introducing our beautifully crafted top-down raglan sleeve pullover, designed for ultimate comfort and style! This knitwear classic features approximately 4” (10cm) of positive ease at the bust for a relaxed fit, and it boasts no waist shaping for a casual yet flattering silhouette. The pullover showcases a rolled stockinette neck, a striking center cable and lace panel, and intricate cable and lace details on the sleeves, making it perfect for knitters looking to enhance their crafting skills.

Finished Bust Measurements: Available sizes include 34 (38, 42, 46, 50) (54, 58, 62, 66)” / 86 (96, 106, 116, 128) (138, 148, 158, 168) cm, catering to a variety of body types and preferences.
Yarn: To create this stunning pullover, you will need 5 (6, 6, 7, 8) (8, 9, 10, 10) skeins of Brooklyn Tweed Loft, which offers 275 yards (251 meters) per 50g ball, making it 100% wool for exceptional warmth and breathability. Alternatively, you can use any fingering weight yarn, estimating a total of 1310 (1490, 1660, 1840, 2010) (2190, 2370, 2540, 2720) yards / 1200 (1360, 1520, 1680, 1840) (2000, 2170, 2320, 2490) meters. For a similar effect, substituting a woolen-spun yarn in fingering weight is recommended to achieve comparable results.
Needles: Use US size 4 (3.5mm) circular needles or the appropriate size required to obtain the perfect gauge. For knitting the sleeves, we recommend utilizing double-pointed needles (dpns) or the magic loop method for seamless craftsmanship.
Notions: Gather your essential knitting tools, which include 8 stitch markers, 2 stitch holders, and 2 buttons (with a diameter of 0.5” / 1.25 cm) to complete your project with precision and style.
Gauge: To ensure your pullover fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches and 40 rows to measure 4” (10cm) in stockinette stitch, with 40 stitches measuring 6” (15cm) for the front cable panel.
