I really wanted a bougie sweatshirt in a basic Raglan style. I wasn’t finding a pattern with short rows that met my gauge so I’m improvising, using Stay Up Till Dawn and Lento as guidelines.

I found this PERFECT Camper yarn in Juniper Heather and thought it would be great as the collar, cuffs, and hem. And I wasn’t wrong. It’s so good! I made a folded stockinette collar, made some short rows and basic KFB raglan increases, and here we go

I knit the Raglan seams to 10 inches as measured on the front. That was 16 increase rounds. I have 146 stitches around the body. Somewhere I missed a Raglan increase on one of the sleeves, but the fabric is so forgiving I can’t tell where even upon close examination. I cast on three stitches under one sleeve and two on the other so I’ll have the same number of sleeves stitches when I pick them up.

I love the look of the fabric on both sides. I wonder if there’s a way to pick up the under arm stitches so this can truly be reversible.

Finished the body and hem it was looking rough so I did a block before finishing sleeves and it’s amazing!
