The basic raglan pullover is elevated by eyelet bands worked in a contrast color. Julie set out to create a seamless sweater that “covers all the bases— familiar and simple, but with plenty of attention to beautiful details and a look that is balanced between feminine and sporty.”

With an attractive scoop neck, bracelet-length sleeves, a gently shaped waist, and an easy fit throughout, Elmont is a natural for layering or wearing alone. The myriad possible color combinations may mean you’ll want more than one of these pretty pullovers in your closet!

GAUGE
23 stitches & 34 rows = 4” stockinette stitch with Size A needle(s), after blocking

NEEDLES
Size A (for Main Fabric):
One 32” circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size needed to obtain gauge
Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

Size B (for Ribbing and Neckband):
One each 16” and 32” circular needles and one set of DPNs one size smaller than Size A needle(s)
Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only):
One 32” circular needle and one set of DPNs one size smaller than Size B needle(s)
Suggested Size: 3¼ mm (US 3)

32” circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using Magic Loop Method for working small circumferences in the round

Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. Please test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
