This is a beginner friendly pattern for a top down raglan sweater. It has no short rows and the pattern details how to adjust the size if you don’t quite get gauge or is between sizes.

There are two ways of viewing the pattern; you can read it on the website, ticking the boxes as you go, or you can download the pdf from johannenal.com/patterns and print it off.

There are a few videos to support this pattern on my Youtube channel.

The fit is up to you, but if you follow the sizing in the pattern it is fitted with only a little bit of positive ease.

The pattern is available in four variations:

English, using Inches
English, using cm
Danish, using inches
Danish, using cm

Edit (28/08/26): sorry about the naming confusion, I didn’t check well enough, and there already is a pattern called Rumble Raglan, so this one got a different name. Not every document has been fixed yet, but I am working on it.
