"This sweater was inspired by a very popular and very loved pattern called Flax by Tin Can Knits. I’ve adored this classic and timeless raglan for a long time but have never knit it for myslef because I prefer to wear my sweaters more boxy. Although this swetaer is very customizable I wanted the body of my Raglan loose fitting with a slimmer fitting sleeve and a wider neckline. Enter the Reagle Raglan! This is my ideal Raglan. Because I love the Flax sweater so much, I decided to insert an optional Garter panel on the sleeves. But to show that this pattern is also about a great fitting Raglan I also knit it without a Garter panel and then turned it inside out to have the Reverse Stockinette the right side. Either way this sweater is sure to be one I will reach for again and again!" - Andrea
