This raglan jumper is worked from the top down with one strand of bouclé yarn and one strand of wool yarn held together. The design has a round 1x1 rib neck and all hems are finished with a 1x1 rib. I recommend working with reverse stockinette stitch on the outside for a nice bouclé structure.

It is only available in one size with a length of 55cm (21.5 inches) and bust circumference of 104cm (41 inches). It’s an oversized fit on sizes XS-M. This top down pattern can be easily adjusted for bigger sizes or increased or decreased in length during the process.

I used about 4 skeins of the Alpaca Bouclé and 7 skeins of Nepal but I would recommend getting one extra skein.

The jumper is mostly knitted on 8mm (US11) circular needles but for the neckline and sleeve hem ribbing I would go down one or two needle sizes. I used 5mm (US8) just because I had it already at home :)
