The Coloring Book Raglan is a beginner sweater pattern and a perfect 90s-inspired classic sweatshirt. This knitting pattern is an elevated worsted weight raglan knit with multiple modification options, including long fitted sleeves, ¾ wide sleeves, cute preppy edge stripes, body and sleeve stripes, and two body lengths.
Along with the possibility of just knitting the pattern plain, there are at least 14 possible options in the pattern itself… and more if you’re willing to make some mods. All versions have an underarm ribbing detail.
This product listing is for a PDF download with a pattern for you to make your own finished knit with. It does not include the finished product. Please read below for all pattern specs and details.
