Chunky Raglan Cardigan (knit)
 |
| #WorkInProgress |
I've always wanted to knit a sweater for myself but I just don't really enjoy knitting in separate pieces (I don't knit socks for that reason...because what if the two don't match up to be the same?!!?) and having to seam. I strongly prefer knitting in the round and seamless knitting. I've made baby and toddler sweaters and cardigans but never in an adult size....until now!!!!!!!!

| Trying It On For Size. Sleeves in Progress! |
Yarn: 4 skeins of Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in Raisin
Notes:
- It's knitted top down and you can modify as needed for length of the body and sleeves.
- I prefer a longer to shorter length so I added an additional 2.5 inches to the recommended body length (11 inches instead of 8.5 inches prior to ribbing). For the ribbing on the body and sleeves I did a regular 1x1 ribbing instead of the twist.
- I did the body ribbing with US 15, sleeves were done with US 13 so I kept the ribbing with the same size needles. You could change it up to do the sleeves in US 15 and all ribbing in US 13 if you'd like - Phanessa has noted that in her updated pattern. If I were to make another, I will probably do the ribbing with smaller needles but they're fine as they are too!
- I have some yarn leftover so I might add pockets to the front.
