The Raglan with a Twist combines a classic raglan shape with a unique applied hem and subtle slipped stitch raglan increases. It is worked top down, featuring a cropped length intended to be worn with 2-4 inches of positive ease for a flattering fit. Simply measure your bust, add your desired amount of ease, and choose the size with the closest measurement. Sweater shown is size 4 with 2 inches of positive ease. A step-by-step video tutorial is included with this pattern.
