DESIGN INTRODUCTION

The WAYFARER RAGLAN 2.0 (2024 version) is a completely revised edition of the original pattern, first published in early 2023. This update includes added schematics with detailed measurements to help you choose the right size, as well as a grading overhaul for improved fit across all sizes and greater size inclusivity. Changes to the pattern writing and layout further improve usability, focusing on making the knitting experience smoother, with clearer instructions and better navigation. Newly tech-edited and test-knit, this version refines the simplicity and contemporary style of the original, offering knitters a more polished and accessible pattern.

The WAYFARER RAGLAN features a classic raglan silhouette with a relaxed fit, making it a perfect everyday wardrobe staple for both urban and outdoor adventures.
