Bertha

Introducing the Bertha Raglan Sweater, a classic and stylish knitting pattern that will elevate your wardrobe! This beautifully designed sweater features an engaging and easy-to-master Bubble stitch pattern that creates a charming 3D effect. Crafted knitted flat from the bottom edge to the neck, the Bertha sweater consists of four separate pieces for a personalized fit: a back, a front, and two identical sleeves. The pieces are expertly seamed together, and then stitches are picked up to create a luxurious doubled, ribbed turtleneck, making this sweater both functional and fashionable.

The Bertha Raglan Sweater is designed to provide a relaxed and comfortable fit, intended to be worn with a positive ease of 15.5-21.5 cm / 6.5-8.5” at the bust. For reference, the sample sweater shown in the picture is size 2, showcasing a delightful 17 cm / 7” of positive ease at the bust for added comfort. This ensures you'll have the perfect blend of style and coziness for any occasion!

Achieving the right gauge is essential for your knitting project, and for the Bertha sweater, the gauge is 14 stitches and 31.25 rows to equal 10 cm / 4” over the Bubble stitch. The recommended gauge swatch can be worked back and forth in rows using size 5 mm / US 8 needles, allowing you to confirm your tension before diving into your sweater project.
