A high-collared raglan with three strands of yarn held together to get a marled look

Skill Level: Intermediate

The sizing lists finished garment measurements based on the sweater diagram. The pattern is designed to have 3 inches of positive ease. Select a size based on your actual bust width plus the 3 inches of positive ease.

Size:
XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)

Finished Measurements:
Bust: 32” (36, 40, 44, 48) (52, 56, 60, 64”)
Back length from waist to neck base: 21” (21, 21, 21, 21) (22, 22, 22, 22”)
Upper sleeve width: 12.75” (13.25, 14, 15, 16.5, 18.5, 20, 21.5, 22.5”)

This raglan sweater is knit in the round and from the top down, beginning with a folded- over collar that fits close to the neck. The three listed yarns are held together to get a marbled color effect.

You first work the collar length, then the yoke, which includes a front and a back body panel and the beginning of two sleeve panels. When your yoke is long enough to reach your armpits, you separate the sleeve panels from the body panels, holding the sleeve stitches on scrap yarn and joining the body panels to finish the body of the sweater down to the waist. You end by working each sleeve individually.

Gauge: 18 sts x 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch with three yarns listed below held together
