Lodge Raglan Sweater
The Lodge Raglan Sweater is a raglan pullover sweater with contrasting sleeves, and a pop of color at the collar. The body is worked first from the bottom up, with raglan shaping completed before the sleeves are worked. The sleeves are attached to the sweater via stitches picked up along the decrease edge of the yoke. The neckband is then worked, folded in half, and sewn in.
