SiMPLE SOMETHiNG

Knitting this delightful raglan sweater using my collection of fingering weight yarn leftovers (held double throughout) felt like taking a nostalgic stroll down memory lane, celebrating my knitting journey! The entire process was both enjoyable and emotionally rewarding. I love wearing it with the right side out or the wrong side out, depending on my mood!

Gather and sort your fingering weight yarn scraps, and apply the suggested colorplay techniques as you knit!

This unique raglan sweater pattern is worked seamlessly in the round, beginning from the top-down and featuring a classic Stockinette Stitch throughout, with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together for added texture and warmth. Starting with a cozy collar, the neck is shaped using short rows, and the yoke is constructed with raglan increases that flow into a stylish sleeve separation. Once the sleeves are placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on, allowing you to work the body of the sweater down to the bottom ribbing with ease. After completing the body, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles for a seamless continuation in Stockinette stitch, creating a beautifully finished garment.

Best of all, there’s no need to weave in any pesky ends!

This design is intended for a comfortable fit with approximately 12—16 cm (4.75—6.25”) of positive ease, ensuring a relaxed and stylish silhouette. The sample shown is Size 3, featuring 16 cm (6.25”) of positive ease, making it a perfect choice for layering or everyday wear.
