Look in your wardrobe and we bet you’ve got at least one jumper with raglan sleeves. Sloping decreases from armhole to neck produce a flattering effect on the shoulders and ensure a good
fit. Our examples have been knitted in a smooth bamboo mix and a mohair and silk blend, but this design will look great in any 4ply yarn. The smooth version of the pattern has optional cable detailing for added interest.

Pay special attention to the separate instructions for the two different patterns. The smooth version includes a cable around the raglan sleeve, whereas the mohair version doesn’t, so, once you’ve decided on a preference refer to the instructions for cable or non-cable version when working the front.
