This two-tone raglan sweater is worked in the round, from the top down using basic knit and purl skills. It calls for bulky weight yarn and it is seamless. It is written for 9 sizes.

It has a flattering bust and a slight boxy feel for the body. The long sleeves are adorned by the garter textured cuffs.
