Unisex Top Down Raglan Jumper

Knitting Pattern – Naturally N1793

This classic unisex raglan jumper is a versatile wardrobe staple, featuring a clean stocking stitch finish and a comfortable, relaxed fit. Designed to be worn by all, it offers a timeless silhouette with simple ribbed trims and smooth shaping.

The jumper is worked seamlessly from the top down in the round, beginning with a ribbed neckline and shaped using short rows for a comfortable fit across the shoulders. Raglan increases create the yoke before the body and sleeves are separated and completed in the round.
