Knit your first sweater, or your next one, with these free top-down raglan patterns. The sweater is worked in one piece from the neck down: a ribbed neckband, a raglan yoke, then the body and the sleeves straight down from the underarms, so there is nothing to sew up and you can try it on as you go.

Every PDF has seven sizes, XS to 3XL for a 76 to 136 cm chest, with a schematic, the finished chest and upper arm for every size, the yarn in metres and grams, and the yoke increases laid out in a table so you always know which round you are on.

There are 4 versions: a classic fit with 10 cm of ease at the chest or a relaxed, roomy fit with 20 cm of ease at the chest, in dk and worsted yarn. You may sell or gift what you knit; please share a link to this page rather than the PDF files.
