Cozy Crewneck Sweater Knitting Pattern - Etsy

The Cozy Crewneck Sweater is a top-down men's raglan designed with heavy worsted yarn, making it a cozy and warm staple for your winter wardrobe. You will start by knitting the collar ribbing, then shape the neckline with short rows while beginning the raglan increases. After the neckline is complete, you will continue increasing the yoke before separating the sleeves to knit the body. The sleeves are knitted last. The entire sweater is knitted in stockinette with thick, ribbed cuffs and a beautiful tubular bind off. This pattern is written in US terms.
