The Autumn Harvest Raglan Jumper

*********USE THE LINK ABOVE TO ACCESS THE FULL AND FREE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS AND VIDEO TUTORIAL******** There’s nothing quite like a proper British autumn. The leaves start to fall, the evenings draw in, and the weather… well, let’s be honest, it’s mostly damp, grey, and unpredictable. Which is exactly why I wanted to design a jumper that you can just throw on — whether you’re nipping down the pub on a drizzly Sunday or curling up at home with a cuppa — and instantly feel warm, comfy, and a little bit stylish too. That was until I stumbled across the V-stitch. Something about those little zigzags instantly reminded me of the tall fir tree forests of North America — sturdy, endless, and a bit magical. I loved the idea of bringing a touch of that wilderness into the sometimes dreary British autumn, where the leaves tumble down, the skies turn grey, and the air shifts with the season. Pair that with a relaxed raglan shape and a deliberately boxy fit, and suddenly I had the perfect canvas for what became the Autumn Harvest Raglan. This pattern is designed to be approachable — the V-stitch is simple to master, works up quickly, and creates a lovely drape without being too fussy. The boxy fit means there’s no need to stress over precision sizing, and the raglan construction makes it easy to try on as you go. Think of it as your go-to autumn sweater: effortless, textured, and just roomy enough to feel like a harvest hug.
