This is a raglan sleeve sweater, knit top-down in the round as a single piece in the traditional Aran style. It is designed as an oversized garment, and instructions have been included for how to adjust length and width to fit a variety of bodies. As such, this is a customizable pattern that can yield a garment capable of fitting any body; yes, there would be some math involved, but I promise it’s not that much or that bad :slightly_smiling_face:

Detailed instructions are included for adjusting any/all of the dimensions listed.

Anyone with a decent grasp of cables and one or two sweaters under their belt should be just fine. That being said, this is an advanced cable pattern and is not intended for beginners.
