Sizing:
- Sizing follows the Craft Yarn Council’s standards for Women’s sizes.

The best raglan I have ever made :)


I wanted to make this cardigan for a while and am glad I did. It was true to size and a straight forward pattern. I am very happy with the result. One thing I will mention is that you have to concentrate as you crochet, with the alternating back loop/front loop hdc stitches. You will know if you made a mistake as the pattern 'lines' will not be straight anymore. I admit I did have to do some unpicking but I very much like the texture of the finished product.
