I know knitting patterns don’t belong to one gender, but Jane Richmond did call this the Men’s Classic Raglan so we’ll go with that. But I would totally wear this sweater every day so let’s just knit and wear what we like, shall we?
This one is a great basic top down, mostly Stockinette raglan with 4 inches of ease, perfect for wearing with a shirt under. It’s worsted weight, too, which I love because it knits a little faster and is warm.
A whopping 16 sizes are offered, from 34 to 64 inches.
And of course “classic” doesn’t have to mean plain. If you or the person you’re knitting for want to change it up with stripes, or a multicolored yarn, or add a stripe in a different stitch pattern, or whatever you want, that’s great. Or not.
Either way, you can grab the pattern from her website or Ravelry for $8.
