>**Sign up for the [Knitosophy Newsletter][1] in order to receive the best discounts right in your inbox!** All of my patterns are #sizeinclusive. **SKILL LEVEL** Intermediate **INTRO** When it comes to handmade garments, I feel that finding the perfect fit is essential. Who wants to go to the trouble of investing all of the time, money and energy it takes to knit a garment, only to result in a poor fit? With a modified raglan construction for enhanced shaping in the shoulders and chest, Right As Rain strives to achieve as perfect a fit as possible. This slightly cropped and ever-so-slightly fitted design has a top-down construction with a V neckline and options for bust darts, fitted or loose waist shaping, and a longer hem in back. With elegant lacy details flowing along the neckline and down the center, it’s sure to be your next go-to for summer wear.
