The Green
This exquisite combination of yarns brings to life a unique color that perfectly embodies the soft, cozy essence of a classic top-down raglan sweater. I absolutely adore the simple slip stitch pattern, which not only enhances the overall texture of the garment but also maintains a lightweight feel—not bulky at all!
CONSTRUCTION NOTES: This beautifully designed sweater is worked seamlessly in the round, crafted in one continuous piece from the top-down with an intricate all-over slip stitch pattern. The process begins with the collar, followed by yoke shaping achieved through short rows and raglan increases that flow gracefully down to the sleeve separation. Once the sleeve stitches are set aside, you'll cast on stitches for the underarm, allowing you to continue working the body toward the elegant bottom ribbing. After the length of the body is complete, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles, where you'll work in the delightful slip stitch pattern in the round, completing this stunning piece.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 23 stitches x 36 rows/rnds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in in the Slip Stitch Pattern using the main needle after blocking. (Note: The pre-blocking gauge was 26 stitches x 40 rows. It's essential to remember that the unique slip stitch pattern will relax beautifully after blocking, enhancing the sweater's drape and fit.)
This perfect top-down raglan sweater pattern not only showcases your knitting skills but also provides a cozy, stylish addition to any wardrobe. Join the knitting community and create this stunning piece that embodies warmth and fashion—a must-have for any knitting enthusiast!
