Wayfarer Raglan

This product is a digital download.

€9,50

With its classic raglan silhouette and relaxed fit, it is both a versatile wardrobe staple and an excellent first project for knitters new to seamless top-down construction or to working with unspun yarn.

Neck and shoulder shaping are achieved with German short rows, and the yoke is contoured with lifted increases for a balanced, comfortable fit across all sizes. Originally published in 2023 and fully revised for a 2024 re-release, the updated pattern offers improved size inclusivity with a thorough re-grading, newly added schematics with detailed measurements, and clearer pattern writing and layout for a smoother knitting experience.

The revised version has been freshly tech-edited and test-knit, ensuring accuracy and ease of use. It is designed for worsted weight unspun yarn and suits both beginners and experienced knitters looking for a reliable, well-constructed everyday sweater pattern. Comprehensive step-by-step instructions cover every stage of the knitting process, from shoulder shaping to sleeve finishing. The Wayfarer Raglan works beautifully in Nutiden by Höner och Eir, held double for a warm, substantial fabric, and pairs naturally with the Wayfarer Tee for a coordinated layered look. The Wayfarer Raglan is the first entry in the Wayfarer Collection – a series of clean, contemporary designs for everyday wear.

This pattern is designed for 12-22 cm/ 4.75-8.75 in of positive ease. With greater discrepancies in upper chest and full chest measurements, I recommend going with the upper chest measurement. The samples in the photos are in size 2, shown with 19 cm/ 7.5 in positive ease.

You can choose from 9 size-inclusive unisex sizes, with finished chest circumferences of:

94, 104, 114 (124, 134, 144) (154, 164, 174) cm |37, 41, 45 (48.75, 52.75, 56.75) (60.75, 64.5, 68.5) in

A schematic with comprehensive measurements is included in the knitting pattern.
