This is our take at a perfect “first sweater” to knit. This sweater uses the basic raglan top down construction, adding just a little embellishment on the bottom with a split high/low ribbed hem. This sweater is great to wear with jeans and boots, as well as layering over and under other garments. 

Details : (Smaller needle) Body: US size 5 / 3.75 mm circular needles between 16 and 40” / 40 and 100 cm to be worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular needle, DPNs or preferred method of small circumference knitting.

(Larger needle) Body: US size 8 / 5 mm circular needles between 16 and 40" / 40 and 100 cm to be worked in the round. Sleeves: 9” / 23 cm circular needle, DPNs or preferred method of small circumference knitting.

(Since the collar can be worked with a 16"/40 cm circular, as the knitting grows, you may want to transition to 24"/60 cm, then 32"/80 cm, then 40"/100 cm circular needle to be worked in the round.) (Or needles to obtain gauge)

Gauge : 20 sts and 26 rows = 4" / 10 cm worked in stockinette in the rnd on Larger Body Needles, after blocking.

Sizes : 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] Finished Bust Circumference Measurements : 30 (34, 37.25, 41.25, 44)[48, 52, 55.25, 59.25, 62, 66]”/ 76 (86.5, 94.5, 105, 112) [122, 132, 140.5, 150.5, 157.5, 167.5] cm

Recommended finished ease is 0-2”/ 0-5 cm of positive ease. Sample shown is on a size 2, with 1.5” / 4 cm positive ease.

Yarn: Sport Weight: 922 (1019, 1112, 1211, 1334)[1463, 1571, 1666, 1771, 1837, 1950] yards / 843 (931, 1016, 1107, 1219)[1337, 1436, 1526, 1619, 1679, 1782] meters

Yarn Used : MC: Dragon Hoard Yarn Nixie Sport Weight in Wood Woes colorway: 328 yards/300 meters per 100 grams

Notions : Stitch markers (4 total; 1 unique for BOR, 3 to mark the raglans) ; scissors; row counter (suggested); darning needle to weave in ends; waste yarn or stitch holders to hold your sleeve stitches.

Notes : This raglan-style sweater is knit top down, using circular needles worked in the round. The sleeves are put on holders, and the rest of the body is knit first. I recommend, before starting this knit, you take out a sweater that you enjoy the fit of, and measure across the front of it from underarm to underarm to determine the size (multiply the measurement by 2 to get the full circumference of your sweater).

I would then take a look at the finished garment measurements and determine what size you would like to knit.
