Here is a classic and timeless raglan sweater that stands out for its simplicity. I created this pattern for my husband using a new hand-dyed yarn from his collection.

I am proud to dedicate this model to him, celebrating the DK Canada yarn, made from 100% Canadian wool, spun in Canada, and hand-dyed in our studio on the south shore of Montreal!

GAUGE

20 sts and 24 rows = 10 cm (4”) in stockinette stitch, worked in the round with the larger needles before blocking.

NOTE

This sweater is worked from the top down and starts with back-and-forth rows to shape the neckline. Once the neck depth is achieved, the rest is worked in the round.

Make sure to read the instructions thoroughly to the end of each section, as you will need to increase the front neck, body, and sleeves simultaneously.

Stitches are picked up at the end to work the neckband. You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves as required, bearing in mind that you should also adjust the amount of yarn required to make the sweater.
