This classic, simple raglan knit cardigan pattern is totally seamless (yay for no sewing!!). It’s knit entirely in stockinette stitch, with simple ribbing around the edges to make it a fairly easy first-time cardigan pattern.
If you’ve not yet heard the term ‘raglan’, it simply refers to a style of sleeve that extends in one piece fully to the collar, creating a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone.
One of the most notable benefits of the raglan style is the sleek, seamless appearance it provides. Unlike traditional sleeves, which are often sewn in as separate pieces, raglan sleeves are integrated into the body of the cardigan. This not only looks prettier, but also contributes to a more natural, comfortable fit. And who doesn't love comfort? Best of all, the raglan technique simplifies the construction process by eliminating the extra work of seaming.

In the process of knitting this right now. I’ve made some changes based on my body and the fit I am going for. Easy enough to knit as instructed and easy enough for an intermediate knitter to make changes to suit your design and structure desires.
Took a while to get my head around the pattern but I'm over half way now and love it. It's amazing that I can actually try it on whilst still knitting! 3
