NATURALLY K490 RAGLAN SWEATER & HAT KNITTING PATTERN
A textured raglan baby sweater with a matching hat, sized from newborn to 12–18 months.
Pattern overview: The sweater back, front and sleeves are knitted flat with raglan shaping. A detailed texture panel runs through the centre body, while a buttoned opening along the left front raglan makes dressing easier. The neckband is picked up before the side and sleeve seams are completed. The stocking-stitch hat is knitted flat, crown-shaped and seamed. An intermediate project for knitters comfortable with stitch patterns, raglan shaping, buttonholes and finishing.
