Cropped Raglan Sweater Knitting Pattern

Knit a Cropped Raglan for Sweater Weather

You want a sweater that feels roomy and relaxed without swallowing you whole.
This boxy raglan is cropped to sit right at your waistband, so it looks great with high-rise jeans.

It's mostly plain knitting in the round, worked top down, so you can check the length as you go. You choose how oversized you want it, and the sizing guide helps you land on the right fit.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 44" to 68" (110 to 170 cm) chest, 7 sizes

• A neckline that sits right: The back is shaped a little higher than the front, so the rolled collar rests comfortably instead of pulling forward.
• Less guessing on fit: Sizing is based on how much ease you like, with a recommended range and a sample-fit reference to compare against.
• Light enough to layer: DK weight gives you a softer, lighter sweater for early fall, finished with rolled edges and 3x1 ribbing at the hem and cuffs.

         "Lots of calm rounds of plain knitting, and the neckline actually sits right. Already planning a second one."
