Dandelion Meadow

Introducing our beautifully crafted raglan-style sweater knitting pattern, designed for knitters at all skill levels. This gorgeous sweater is knit from the top down to just below the underarms, allowing for easy customization and fit. The three-quarter length sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round, featuring charming garter stitch cuffs that add a delightful touch. The body of the sweater is ingeniously worked side to side as a separate piece and is thoughtfully shaped with short rows at the underarms for a flattering silhouette. Once completed, the body is seamed horizontally to the bottom edge of the yoke, ensuring a polished finish. To complete the look, a stylish garter stitch edging is worked along the hem and collar, adding an elegant detail to this timeless piece.

The sample shown is in a size 36" [92 cm], showcasing the sweater's versatile design that can be custom-fitted for various body shapes. For this project, we recommend using Anzula Squishy yarn, which is an exquisite blend of 80% merino, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon. You will need approximately 375 yards [341 m] of yarn per skein. Depending on your size, you will need 3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6) skeins in a beautiful shade of Dusty Rose.

If you prefer working with alternate materials, you will need approximately 1045 (1170, 1350, 1620, 1675, 1810, 2050, 2195) yards [956 (1070, 1235, 1482, 1532, 1655, 1875, 2007) m] of fingering weight yarn to complete this stunning sweater.
