A classic, warm raglan sweater with a modern fit. The sweater is worked from the top down with increases around the raglan stitches shaping the yoke. The body and sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch and finished with ribbed edges. The pattern is suitable for beginners and includes detailed step-by-step instructions. Video guides are provided for all parts of the pattern and are especially helpful if this is one of your first knitting projects. These can be found at www.fiskerknit.com under Video Guides or on YouTube (@FiskerKnit). I recommend watching the intro video before you start and then Videos 1-5 as you knit the sweater.
