Purl Foundry - Deep Raglan

 Printed Pattern

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

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.
