How to make the Mariner Mod for the Coloring Book Raglan

By popular request, here's a quick little notes sheet for how I made my Nutiden mariner version of the Coloring Book Raglan pattern.

Sizing and Yardage

I am using Nutiden yarn Barighet and Ragaad held double. I knit size 2, and the total weight used was 335 grams. I highly recommend buying your regular amount of Nutiden for holding double, then an additional plate in a contrasting color. It should be sufficient for all the sizes, but your mileage may vary as each color of Nutiden is different. Always buy a little extra, just in case.

A Word On Ribbing

Using the base pattern, I used 2 sizes down from the main fabric needle size for the ribbing since Nutiden ribbing tends to fluff up for me. I recommend swatching as Nutiden knits up differently for everyone, but I got gauge on the same needle as I did for the other samples.

Striping Mods

I knit as for View B all the way until the arm split. I worked the first round after the separation with CC, as described in View B, then swapped to following arm shaping and body length instructions for view A while striping as follows:

Knit 3 rnds in CC, then 10 rnds in MC. Repeating this stripe pattern until View A lengths are complete.

Plan Ahead With Coloring Sheets

I for one am super excited to see what you come up with if you decide to knit this mod of the Coloring Book Raglan. The pattern includes planning pages for every view, so you can plan your colors. I think it would be adorable with contrasting colors of different scrappy Nutiden colors too.. not just one CC. Try different things out with the printable!

Happy knitting!
