Ravishing Raglans all have some unique short rowing very easy to shape the sleeve that greatly improves fit over a traditional machine knitted raglan style. This actually 4 patterns. One for standard gauge machines, one for mid-gauge and two for bulkies. The reason for two bulky patterns is that row gauge is quite important and many hobby machines tend to get a different row gauge from metal bed bulkies. Each is given in finished chest sizes of 40, 43, 48 and 52.In addition there is a printable half scale chart for use with charting devices and instructions for following the chart.Quite a lot of variations are included so that each Ravishing Raglan you knit can be unique.
