Raglans get a bad rap – but let’s face it, for those of us who can wear them, they are GREAT! They are easy to knit, easy to adjust, and frankly, just SUPER COMFORTABLE!!

So, this Generic Raglan is as simple as it gets. It is a wonderful “first sweater” and is also a fun and simple knit for more experienced knitters. It is a warm and comfy sweater to wear with sweatpants on the weekends, or some jeans for a casual evening out. The sweater is worked from the cowl to the hem. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuff. There is no seaming and no stress! I hope you enjoy!

A note for CUMULUS - to manipulate color so your sleeves come out the same, I recommend purchasing one more cake than yardage would indicate: 5 (5, 5, 6) 6, 7, 7 (7, 8, 8) cakes.
