Cowl neck raglan 408
Introducing a beautifully easy and fast one-piece, top-down raglan knitting pattern that is ideal for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. This versatile design is particularly well-suited for mohair yarn, which adds a delightful softness and lustrous sheen. However, you can also opt for a soft chunky wool or alpaca yarn to create the same gorgeous effect.
This one-piece construction allows you to fully utilize the multi-coloured hand-dyed yarn, ensuring that all sides align perfectly and showcase a natural progression of vibrant colors. The resulting garment offers a cohesive and harmonious appearance that is sure to turn heads.
The fit of this raglan sweater is designed to be slightly loose around the bust and upper arms, providing comfort while allowing for ease of movement. The ribbed waistband cinches the silhouette, creating a flattering fitted look that highlights your figure. Additionally, the long sleeve cuffs are designed for versatility, providing the option to roll them back to suit your personal style and comfort needs.
One of the standout features of this design is the BIG collar. This striking detail not only adds visual interest but is also incredibly functional. The collar can be worn draped like a cozy cowl for a chic, relaxed vibe, or pulled down over your shoulders to achieve a trendy off-the-shoulder look. Moreover, it’s large enough to serve as a type of hood, making it a practical layering piece that can be worn under a jacket during colder months.
Tension gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 10 cm/4" over stockinette stitch using 5.5mm needles.
Yarn amount: Approximately 750 (800, 900, 1000) meters / 820 (875, 985, 1094) yards of chunky or bulky weight yarn, preferably mohair.
