• Product description

  Ranger’s raglan construction makes this comfortable cardigan perfect for easy layering. Its textured stitch pattern sports columns of slipped stitches complemented by garter stitch to create a spongy, breathable fabric. A high ribbed collar and radiating raglan lines add subtle personality to this classic wardrobe item that is just as suited to bustling city streets as it is to camping in the woods.
  

  Designer: Jared Flood

  CONSTRUCTION

  • Ranger has a bottom-up, seamless raglan construction. The sleeves are worked in the round from cuff to underarm, while the body is worked flat from hem to underarm.
  • After the body and sleeves are knit to the underarm, all pieces are united and yoke is worked in one piece, back and forth from underarm to neck opening.
  • The ribbed collar is picked up directly from the bound-off neck edge and worked back and forth to desired height.
  • Front buttonbands are picked up last from base of hem to top of collar and worked flat.
  • Torso and sleeve lengths may be shortened or lengthened to suit your preference; see the pattern instructions for where to make these adjustments. Note that adding length will require additional yardage than what is listed by the pattern.
