The Raglan Pullover 01 Knitting Pattern is an advanced beginner pattern for knitting a classic top-down raglan sweater featuring a shaped neckline, relaxed fit, simple stockinette fabric, and contrasting stripes.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the pullover has approximately 3.5–4 in / 9–10 cm of positive ease for an easy, comfortable fit. The body and sleeves are finished with 1 × 1 ribbing, with the option of a regular or folded ribbed neckband.
The downloadable PDF includes clear written instructions, sizing and finished measurements, yarn requirements, gauge information, and technique guidance to help you complete your project.
ABOUT THE PATTERN
Raglan Pullover 01 is worked top down, beginning with the neckline and upper yoke worked flat while the front neck and raglan shaping are created simultaneously.
Once the front neckline is complete, the sweater is joined and worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is completed, then each sleeve is worked from the underarm to the cuff. Neckband stitches are picked up and worked last.
