| Description | The Never Not Knitting Raglan is the ultimate cozy knit from start to finish. With no purling in this pattern, you’ll want to knit it again and again!
This sweater is knit top-down in the round. The pattern uses only the knit stitch for the entire construction, making this project a super easy and comforting knit.
Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) to fit a bust circumference of 28-30 (32-34, 36-38, 40-42, 44-46) (48-50, 52-54, 56-58, 60-62)”/71-76 (81-86, 91-97, 102-107, 112-117) (122-127, 132-137, 142-147, 152-157) cm
Finished bust measurement: 34 (38, 43, 47, 50) (54, 59, 63, 66)”/ 86 (97, 109, 119, 127) (137, 150, 160, 168) cm
Finished upper arm circumference: 12 (13, 14, 15, 16) (18, 19, 21, 22)”/ 30 (33, 36, 38, 41) (46, 48, 53, 56) cm
Finished yoke depth: 8 (8, 9, 9, 10) (10, 11, 11, 12)”/ 20 (20, 23, 23, 25) (25, 28, 28, 30) cm
The body of this sweater is meant to be worn with around 4-6”/10-15 cm of positive ease at the bust and the arms are meant to be worn with around +3”/8 cm at the upper arm. If you are between sizes I would recommend choosing the larger size or the size with your desired amount of ease/upper arm circumference/yoke depth.
