Easy Peasy Raglan Sweater
Easy Peasy is Önling’s new series of basic sweaters of a classic, Nordic design and patterns written in an uncomplicated, beginner-friendly language, with no abbreviations or cryptic ‘codes’. This is our take on an Easy Peasy sweater with raglan sleeves.
The sweater can be varied indefinitely, e.g. with short sleeves, a longer body, light yarn, thick yarn, etc., and the pattern offers tips and details that allow you to adapt the sweater to be your very own and fit you perfectly.
The fit of the sweater is ‘normal’, i.e. with a positive ease of approx. 5 cm / 2 inches. it is fairly short and has rather deep armholes and wide, short or long, sleeves ending in rib-stitch cuffs. It is designed in our favorite yarn, Önling No 1; this yarn is perfect for a basic garment. You will get a wonderfully warm, soft, and light sweater.
