McClave is a classic, raglan pullover, knitted from the top down. It’s truly a timeless piece, a sweater you almost always feel like wearing. You’ll rarely find it folded and put away. Instead, it lives draped over a chair back or tossed on top of the dresser. Worked in softest Delaine Merino, it feels great next to your skin. And Delaine Merino’s many colors give you lots of color options for the peppy stripes—spritely crisp, or soft and subtle.

You’ll need:
Four (five, six, seven) (eight, nine, ten, eleven) skeins Heron (black; MC), one skein each Goldenrod (A), Alder (blue; B), Hawthorne (rust; C)
Stitch markers
Stitch holders
Tapestry needle

Notes:
The sample is shown in size 34 1/4” (87 cm), with suggested positive ease of 2–4”(5–10 cm)

This stockinette pullover is worked from the top down with increases on each side of four marked raglan lines that define the back, front, and two sleeves.

The yoke begins by working back and forth in rows to shape the front, then joins for working in the round by casting on stitches across the base of the front neck.

A single purl stitch creates a faux seam at each side of the lower body to ensure that it hangs straight.

Mirrored decreases taper the sleeves.
