This stylish sweater pattern is expertly designed for knitters who enjoy working top down in the round with the classic raglan sleeve style. The construction allows for seamless knitting that results in a comfortable and chic garment. Initially, the body and sleeves are knitted together, then the sleeves are separated and placed on hold. Following this, you will continue to knit the main body of the sweater. Once the body is complete, you’ll easily pick up the sleeve stitches to knit the cuffs, ensuring a polished finish.
