An advantage to this top down raglan sweater is that if you’re using yarn you bought at a market or on sale and if you find that you’re running short, just make the body or the sleeves a little shorter!

Note: Use a worsted weight yarn with lots of loft (i.e. Mountain Mohair from Green Mountain Spinnery, Mochi Plus from Crystal Palace).

If you’re using a hand dye, don’t forget to carry 2 balls at a time, back and forth with one, then back and forth with the other, carrying the unused ball up the side of your work. This distributes the colors evenly.
