When I first started getting into crochet, wearables like sweaters and cardigans really fascinated me. It’s not until I made my first sweater pattern that I realized how fun it could be to crochet your own clothes! The Farrow Sweater is still one of my favorite patterns and I still love it’s look, a timeless piece to own and wear!
The Granny Raglan was intentionally designed with beginners in mind. It uses aran weight yarn that’s not too thin, it works up quickly, and the stitches and construction are really straightforward.
Crocheting a sweater can seem intimidating at first. With some many panels to make and elements to think about, it can feel overwhelming. Overcome your sweater-making fears with the Granny Raglan Sweater as it is crocheted in the round in one piece, with truly minimal seaming.
Also the sweater comes in 4 sizes guaranteeing you will find your ideal size whether you like it more fitted or oversized (garment is made with 2 inches (5 cm) positive ease).
Regarding the yarn, I made the sample with Jeans yarn (Kren from UKnit Lab which is now discontinued) but a nice equivalent would be Billie Jean yarn from Wool and The Gang or Jeans from Lion Brand Yarn basically any other aran weight yarn you want. You can have a look here at which yarns have been used so far to make the sweater but to be honest I truly believe a worsted weight yarn would work perfectly as well!
I would also like to thank my testers as without them this pattern release would have been impossible!
Thank you to all the special ladies who gave their time and yarn to test this sweater for me! Above ar just a few photos from some finished sweaters so that you can be inspired!
