π 5 of our Favorite Raglan Sweater Patterns
Next week is our Sweater Knitting Weekend: Raglan Edition event, and I thought I'd highlight some great examples of raglan design.
Raglans are a great option if you've never knit a sweater before because of the simple shaping.
And even those some of these sweater look complex, they are all based on the same basic shape.
Why we love it: This modern take on the raglan features a wide boat neck collar and baggy sleeves. Plus it uses marling to create that beautiful fuzzy halo throughout.
Why we love it: Garter stitch is paired with lace raglan seams. What's not to love? (We'll show you how to do this on Day 2 of the event)
Why we love it: Lace details accent the sleeves and hem of this top, making it perfect for warmer weather.
Why we love it: Gosling's fox sweater can't have all the fun. The Project Hail Mary sweater has a similar raglan style version too!
βJean Sweater by Kolibri by Johanna
Why we love it: Feather and fan has never been used so effectively as with this bright and happy sweater. It also has a junior version!
β¨ BONUS PICK β¨
Why we love it: Because it's super cute!
