(Many people ask for raglan sleeves as they fit more neatly against the body so here is my new pattern which is made using Rico Creative Melange Wonderball Aran. It has a nice crew neck line which lies nicely against the body and is not too high up the neck. The yarn is quite fine for an aran and creates a nice soft fabric which is not too bulky.
The yarn has amazing yardage for the 200g so ALL sizes only use 2 balls of the yarn.
The garment featured in the picture is colour 003. Please note the colour descriptions are those given by the manufacturer.
