Sample shown is on a size 2, with 6”/15 cm positive ease. Due to the cables and lace on the sleeves, I would not recommend above 6” of positive ease.

Notions: Stitch markers (12 total; 1 unique for BOR, 4 unique to mark the chart, and 7 for the raglan shaping);scissors; cable needle; row counter (suggested); darning needle to weave in ends; waste yarn or stitch holders to hold your sleeve stitches. Notes: This raglan-style sweater is knit from the top down, using circular needles worked in the round. The sleeves are put on holders, and the rest of the body is knit first. I recommend before starting this knit, you take out an oversized sweater that you enjoy the fit of, and measure across the front of it. I would then take a look at the finished garment measurements and determine what size you would like to knit. This is a perfect “third sweater” to knit, as the lace and cable details on the sleeves require a higher level of knitting. This sweater uses the basic raglan top down construction, adding fancy embellishment on the sleeves.
