How to Knit a Simple Raglan Sweater | The Fall Bluff Pullover
If you’ve always wanted to try a simple raglan sweater, this easy pullover is a great project for you. The Fall Bluff Sweater is an oversized, top-down raglan sweater with a simple construction but timeless look. Its top-down construction allows you to customize the armhole depth and arm and body length as you go. The chunky yarn and larger needles make it a quick project. Feel free to change up the colors or use this as a foundational design to build something more unique off of.
This raglan sweater has no neckline shaping, no body shaping, and no armhole decreases until the cuff – it’s meant to be an easy knit but feel free to customize the sweater to your liking.
