The Malaga Sweater is a comfortable raglan sweater worked from the top down with a crochet finish at the neckline. The top-down construction allows you to easily try on the sweater as you go and adjust the length of the sleeves and body to your preference.

The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round, making it a great project for both beginners and more experienced knitters.

Malaga has a relaxed fit and a neckline that gently drops off one shoulder. It’s the kind of style that effortlessly looks great, pairs perfectly with your favorite jeans, and gives you plenty of comfort. Finished with a crochet edge, this loose neckline not only looks beautiful but also allows you to adjust it exactly as you need.

To make the whole process even easier, there is a video tutorial for this pattern on my YouTube channel, Martaliaknits. English subtitles are available, so you can follow along at your own pace.
