Everyday Linen Raglan - Knitting Crochet Sewing Crafts Patterns and Ideas! Growing up as the sister of two older brothers, to say I was a tomboy is a bit of an understatement.

Everyday Linen Raglan - Knitting Crochet Sewing Crafts Patterns and Ideas!

I was one of the boys! While my girlfriends were playing softball, I insisted on being in the all-boys baseball league. My 'Sunday's Best' consisted of hand-me-down golf shirts, khaki pants and bucks. I blindly and adoringly echoed my brothers' every move. If they wouldn't wear it (or do it or like it), well then, neither would I. So for those who knew me back then, my current love for linen dresses and fancy clutches, cashmere wraps and backless sweaters, floral hankies and pretty much all things fem is something of a shock.

This lightweight, 3/4-sleeve raglan top harkens back to sunny days at the ball park, but with the natural elegance and drape of 100% linen. Knit up in Euroflax's beautiful sportweight linen, this favorite yarn of mine pairs a rugged durability with a chic grace, a duality I have come to greatly appreciate! The Materials The Pattern Gauge Sizes Small/Medium (Medium/Large) Short Row Sweater. As a young child, I remember my wonderfully elegant grandmother wearing her cardigans backwards with the first couple of buttons undone, creating a soft V dipping down from her shoulders.

Short Row Sweater

As an adult I turn to her back-revealing style still, as I love wearing her summer frocks from the 50s with cutouts that reveal the small of my back. The Short Row Sweater is my autumn ode to the grace and distinction of a bit of bare back. Knit in one piece, this wrap of a sweater is a half moon shape, folded around to create a sweeping crisscross in the back. I used the superlatively soft Blue Sky Sport Weight Alpaca for its draping ease and classic simplicity. I have thrown on this sweater with jeans and flats for some of my last outdoor brunches of the season. Materials 5 (6) skeins of Blue Sky Alpaca's Sport Weight (100% Baby Alpaca).

Sarah's Cable Merino

The raglan always fits shoulders, especially when combined with the springy ribby small cables.

Then, pull all four off the left needle.... Late summer sweater.

Watching the sparce grid of the pergola become overrun with wisteria and roses was a sure sign of the hot summer days to come. This sweater is a delightfully quick project to welcome spring and to wear right through summer.
