Raglan Blazer 505

Hand Knitting Pattern: Cardigan

Yarn weight: Super Bulky (5-6 wpi)

Suggested yarn: Noro Iro

Any firm very bulky yarn would work well. I designed this in one piece to take advantage of a self striping yarn. This seed stitch blazer is instantly recognizable as Noro yarn. It’s done in IRO which is 75% wool and 25% silk. Knit the body one piece and add the sleeves to finish the raglan shoulders and collar. The button loops are added after, so you can choose as many buttons as you like.

Rated: intermediate.

Skills required: Knit/purl, inc/dec, keeping continuity of pattern, seed stitch, seaming (underarm), crochet button loops

Sizes available: S, M, L, XL, 2XL.

Choose a size which gives you 5-10 cm / 2-4 in of ease.
