The ever-classic raglan is still one of my favorite sweater styles to
knit and to wear. The raglan shaping lends itself to the roomy fit that
growing kids need. A single band at the hem, cuffs, and neck is just
enough to add a little color to this classic style.

Designed by Marie of Marie Grace Designs.
Marie Grace, a home-schooling mom of 4, spends most of her time
surrounded by her family, books, and yarn balls. She learned to crochet
when she was very young but didn’t start knitting until she had kids of
her own. Nobody warned her that the desire to knit up a few baby
sweaters could quite possibly turn into a full blown obsession with
fiber.
Years later she’s still knitting and now designing. Kids-wear and
natural fibers are still her favorites and her designs reflect a
classic calm that is totally absent from her real life.
