Slanty Sweater is a seamless, top-down raglan baby sweater. It has a boxy, funky style and is knit in stockinette with a slanted garter stitch button-band.

The button band and its smooth, round I-cord edge are built into the pattern and form as you knit! There are no stitches to pick up, and very little finishing is required at the end of the sweater, besides sewing on buttons and weaving in ends.

Slanty is a great place for advanced beginners to jump into the joys of raglan sweater construction, as the instructions are easy to follow and clearly explained.

It’s also a great stash-busting design! You can add stripes in whatever colors and patterns you desire (or knit it in one color, if you choose).
