The casual comfort of a cozy raglan is elevated by unusual construction and bold cables that ascend the torso on the bias to create flattering lines. Wake is worked in pieces of irregular shape—the back with a wide hem that wraps around to the hipbones and forms a graceful curve worked with short rows, the front narrow at the waist with an incisive V-neck—and then seamed to achieve a raglan style with an asymmetric hem that’s higher in the front. The edges are left almost raw for clean, simple finishes.


CONSTRUCTION
The pieces are worked flat and sewn together. The sides of the front neck are continued, sewn along the top of the sleeve and back neck, joined at the center back neck, then the top edge is folded down and sewn to the WS of the back neck as a collar.
