Cloudy Day Raglan

Introducing the Cloudy Day Raglan Sweater, a stunning textured knit piece that beautifully combines intricate lace patterns with elegant purl stripes. This seamless sweater is designed to be worked from the top down, ensuring a clean finish with minimal finishing required. The knitting process starts with a cozy neck ribbing, followed by a meticulous shaping of the neckline through short rows, providing a flattering fit.

Once the raglan increases are complete, you'll place the sleeve stitches on hold, allowing you to focus on the body of the sweater. The body is then knitted in the round, reaching elegantly toward the hem and finished off with stylish ribbing. Afterward, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles to knit the sleeves in the round towards the cuffs, for a polished finish. This pattern is beginner-friendly and includes a helpful photo tutorial demonstrating German short rows, along with both charted and written instructions for the lace pattern.

For your yarn, you'll need approximately 1050 (1210, 1350, 1440, 1570, 1725, 1845, 2015) yards / 960 (1105, 1235, 1320, 1435, 1580, 1690, 1845) meters of fingering weight yarn, plus a matching amount of laceweight mohair to be held together. Alternatively, you can use DK-weight yarn if you prefer to work with a single strand. Please note that the yarn amounts provided are estimates and may vary based on your individual tension and size preferences.

Enhance your knitting collection with the Cloudy Day Raglan Sweater pattern and enjoy a rewarding knitting experience that results in a cozy wardrobe staple. Whether you're looking for a project for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this textured sweater is sure to impress!
