>If you purchase 5 or more patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (be sure to place them all on your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive a 25% discount. Cozy and oversized raglan sleeved sweater with beautiful cable pattern running down on each sleeve. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down. The work begins with the short row shaping on neck and raglan increases. After that the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in the round towards the hem. Sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs. Two different sleeve lengths are provided, extra long (shown above) and regular. The i-cord neckline adds a beautiful finishing touch. The pattern includes photo tutorials for M1b-increase, i-cord neckline and German short rows. The cable pattern is both charted and written out. **PATTERN INFORMATION** SIZES: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL) Bust circumference of the finished sweater: 37 ¾ (41 ½, 44 ¼, 47 ¼, 51, 54 ½, 57 ½, 61)” / 94.5 (103.5, 111, 118, 127.5, 136.5, 143.5, 152.5) cm.
