High V-Neck Raglan, PDF pattern

About the Design

This circularly knit sweater pattern is written in 5 sizes, for a wide range of body sizes. I’ve also tweaked the design, from the original, with long tail CO in rib, striping, and a change in sizing.

This design is also worked up in children’s sizes, in both weights of Lamb’s Pride, as a separate pattern.

I originally designed this sweater in 1997, in a yarn that was discontinued after I finished the garment! I then found the yarns that, I think, best suit this cozy weekend sweater – Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride.

The pattern is in bulky and worsted weight yarn, to accommodate those knitters desiring a lighter or heavier weight sweater.

I’ve worked the worsted wt. version in a fiery red – my color!
