This fitted, sculptural raglan is a top-down, seamless design that almost knits itself. Most of the work is easy stockinette, while visual detail is added through deftly engineered cables at the raglan and sides to shape and enhance. Options for short sleeves and long sleeves are included; pair the short-sleeved version with Stitch Diva’s Opera-Length Wristlets (pattern available for purchase separately) for a beautiful, unique fashion statement. Skill level is Intermediate.
