Little Cables Raglan
This is THE Raglan pullover PATTERN NOTES
I’ve been dreaming of
designing and adding to
my knitwear collection! I
designed this Raglan to be
worn with very little to no
positive ease with the
intention of wearing under
jumpsuits and overalls. I
wanted a very basic style
however couldn’t help but
to add faux cables to the
cuffs, hem and collar for
that little personal touch.
The faux cabled pattern is
fun to knit and easily
memorized. Knit with
Biscotte’s Bis-Sock yarn this
is the perfect pullover to
take you through the
changing seasons!

Little cables Raglan is knit seamless from top to bottom. After
casting on you will work back and forth casting on additional
stitches at the beginning and end of the needles on the right side
rows as indicated to shape the neckline BEFORE joining to work in
the round. To cast on the stitches at the beginning and end of the
rows the Knitted Cast On method is recommended as it is nice and
sturdy. The Raglan increases will be worked at the same time as
you are casting on the additional stitches for the neckline shaping.
While working back and forth, the Increase Row/Rnd is followed by
a wrong side Regular Row where the stitches are purled. After
joining to work in the round, the Increase Row/Rnd is followed by a
Regular Round where all stitches are knit. I suggest reading
through the Raglan Increases section before starting! Click HERE to
see how the collar is designed or you can pick up stitches around
the neckline in your preferred method.
