Lightweight Raglan Pullover
If you troll Ravelry regularly you might have seen this one, but I think it is a great project. It’s made with fingering weight yarn on 3.5mm/US4 needles, making it a light, easy knit to wear. The basic construction keeps things elegant but simple for summer knitting. The subtle curve at the bottom is created with short rows – a mini-skill challenge for beginners. A great garment for cool summer nights, all spring and fall. And of course there are always lots of yarn options when it comes to fingering weight yarn …..
