Fond of You
Introducing the "Fond of You" raglan sweater, a beautifully textured knitting pattern ideal for knitters looking for a stylish, cozy addition to their wardrobe. This delightful sweater is expertly knit seamlessly from the top down, making it a perfect project for those who enjoy a more fluid knitting experience.
**GAUGE:** Achieve your ideal fit with a gauge of 18 stitches and 29 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in double moss stitch using US size 8 (5 mm) needles—AFTER BLOCKING. Be mindful, as gauge can vary significantly; the double moss stitch will relax considerably once blocked, so proper blocking is essential to the overall look and fit of your finished garment.
**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** This sweater offers inclusive sizing with chest measurements of 18 ½ (19 ½, 20 ½, 23, 25, 27, 28 ½, 30, 32) inches, equating to 47 (49.5, 52, 58.5, 63.5, 68.5, 72.5, 76, 81.5) cm.
