The winter of 2022-2023 broke records for snowfall in Duluth, Minnesota (140 inches!), so I decided to celebrate the event with a snowy raglan jacket. This is knit in the round from the top down, in DK weight yarn. The sample sweater was knit in Rowan Felted Tweed held together with Rowan Kidsilk Haze for a lightweight and toasty warm garment. The snowflake motifs are centered back and front.

Sizes listed are for the finished garment. Choose a size or two larger for more ease.
