Construction
The Ribbon Raglan Sweater is worked top-down, beginning with the ribbed neckline. From there, you’ll shape the yoke, separate the sleeves, and complete the body before finishing the sleeves. The ribbed neckline, waistband, and cuffs use slst blo for a clean, polished look. The neckline also features a sweet ribbon detail for added charm.
The body and sleeves are worked with two strands of yarn, while the neckline ribbing uses a single strand to achieve the perfect fit.
Customization
The pattern includes clear instructions for adjusting both the body and sleeve lengths, so you can make your Ribbon Raglan Sweater fit exactly how you want it. Whether you prefer a cropped look or a longer sweater, the choice is yours!
