Fisherman's Raglan

This product is a digital download.

€10,50

The Fisherman's Raglan is a rustic, tactile sweater with a relaxed fit and a quiet, understated character. The standout feature is a herringbone-inspired textured stitch panel on the front, worked in aran weight unspun yarn for a fabric that is both warm and visually rich. Matching decorative raglan braids complement the panel, creating a coherent and considered detail that runs through the structure of the garment without drawing undue attention to itself.

Designed for comfort and long-term wearability, the Fisherman's Raglan is the kind of piece that earns its place as a wardrobe constant — suited to coastal walks, quiet mornings, and the kind of everyday wear that benefits from a natural, substantial fabric. Unspun yarn gives the finished sweater an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio and a slightly rustic hand that softens and settles beautifully with wear.

The companion Fisherman's Mittens pattern features the same herringbone braid stitch panel, making the two a natural set. The pattern is suited to intermediate knitters comfortable with seamless construction and working from stitch charts, and it is an excellent project for those wanting to explore the character of aran weight unspun yarn in a structured, textural design.
