The ultimate in cosy winter sweaters, the Deep Raglan knitting pattern features deep sleeves, crew neckline and balloon cuffs for extreme comfort.

This is a printed pattern. Beautifully printed and folded into A DLE envelope brochure size, as shown in the picture.

This sweater is knit in the round as one piece from the top down for zero seaming. The neckline is picked up and knit before being folded to the inside and hand sewn in place.

Suitable for Intermediate level knitters and above.

Fit & Yarn Details

Finished bust measurements: cm = 102.5 (111.5, 120, 129) (141, 148.5, 161, 170) / inches = 40.25 (43.75, 47.25, 50.75) (55.75, 58.5, 63.25, 66.75)"

Needles: 3.5 mm/US 4 circular needle for ribbing and 4.5 mm/US 7 circular needle, or size to obtain gauge. NOTE: The sleeves are worked in the round using the magic loop method, but you could just opt to use a shorter cord with your circulars or use DPNs.

Proper yarns we recommend: Beaut held with Mint or PropserDK

If you like the colour of the sample photographed, our best colour match would be Eos.

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy.  Hand-dyed yarns vary from one batch to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein. 

Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality. This gives final objects depth and nuance. With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
