The Oakwood Raglan is a bottom-up raglan sweater knitting pattern with a classic, well-proportioned silhouette and a beautifully textured all-over surface. The standout feature is an openwork cable pattern that alternates with ribbing — worked entirely without a cable needle — creating a fabric with ample stretch and a sculptural, organic quality reminiscent of oak bark and twisted branches. The cable is enjoyable to knit and easy to memorise after just a few repeats.

Because the cable and rib combination gives the fabric significant horizontal stretch, the Oakwood Raglan works well both at the recommended positive ease and at minimal ease, offering flexibility in fit without altering the construction. The pattern is written for worsted weight yarn and is particularly well suited to unspun wool, where the textured stitch pattern benefits from the natural loft and depth of the fibre.

Available in English as a digital PDF download, with detailed instructions and clear charts suited to intermediate knitters comfortable with textured stitch patterns and raglan shaping.

A lovely textured sweater with a nice fit. Fun to knit, and hard to put down. A detailed and well written pattern makes the knitting experience good!

'-Ellen

I really enjoyed knitting the texture on this pattern. It’s a very rhythmic and meditative experience, and the result is well-fitting, unique, and cozy. I recommend!

Laurie @laurie_lamont

This sweater is an absolute joy to knit and wear!

'- Anja

I had an amazing time knitting this pattern. The repeat is very memorisable and just flew off the needles.

@agueda_knits

Beatiful pattern, very easy to follow as and to memorize, the cable is very easy and final look is great. I really recommend It.

@notsobadknits

Knitting up the Oakwood Raglan has been a dream. I loved being able to use Nutiden (Unspun yarn) in a “quick” cable pattern. It was addictive to knit, and fits well into my closet. It is wearable- not just something to admire.

@woolleymommyth

Classic pullover with interesting asymmetric cables, alternating rib, and careful attention to detail. • The sweater has ribbed panels down the sides. • Detailed instructions for each size to aid in blending the cables at the raglan seams. ❦ Once you get into the rhythm of the pattern, the straight bits of body and sleeves (with increases) are a pleasure! ❦ I used lots of stitch markers to track rounds throughout all the sections - especially the rounds for joining up sleeves to body and the decrease sections to shape the yoke, neck, and shoulders. ❦ After joining the body & sleeves, throughout the yoke section, and for the neck & shoulder shaping, I needed to focus, THINK, and carefully track stitch counts for sleeves, front, and back to ensure the blend went smoothly.

I love fabric and everything about how it turned out. The design schematics make it fool-proof to make it fit just right. This is immediately my newest everyday sweater, for winter in Canada it is perfect.

Lynda @Oldlinefiber

I absolutely love the all over cable pattern of this sweater and am so excited to add it to my wardrobe. It is one I can see dressing up with a skirt or down with jeans. The turtleneck is such a fun feature and the Nutiden creates a lightweight yet warm pattern. I found this knit to be challenging, yet rewarding as an intermediate knitter and definitely recommend it if you are looking for a knitting challenge and want to add a beautiful item to your collection!

This is my first time testing for Liv, but it is my second project she designed. The common denominators I found in both projects were the intentional details and thoughtful design. I am looking forward to working on more of her designs.
