Wear the Sporty Raglan hiking, biking, or pop it on after yoga! My sample is in fingering and Suri / silk held together. This is an easy sweater to knit. It is also very easy to alter the length of the sleeves or body. As written, this advanced beginner sweater is knit top down, and features a slightly squared neckline, raglan increases, a high-low hem, and long sleeves with thumbholes.

Sizes: 0 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Sweater shown in Size 1 on a 38-inch (96.5 cm) bust with approximately 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) of positive ease.
