About the design:

This top down raglan sweater includes a steek. It is very size inclusive and includes instructions for seventeensizes, 31″- 68 at the upper bust, intended to have 1 – 2 of positive ease. For this pattern we recommend that knitters use their upper bust measurement, measured at your underarms when selecting a size in order to get the best fit. The full list of measurement in the pattern are given below for you to reference when choosing your kit size.

The Victory Cardiganisa great choice for a beginner. The Cardigan does require a steek, whichsomepeoplefind intimidating. We can recommend theCompanion Courseto walk you through this step and so many others!
