This design by Lisa Richardson is showing a simple rib pattern and the main body is knitted in the round in one piece. It is knitted in Rowan Fine Art, a luxury fingering weight yarn. This ribbed raglan sweater is part of the Essential story of Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 58.

I love this garment because it is knitted in my favourite construction. Knitting in the round from bottom to top, joining in sleeves, which are also knitted in the round and raglan shoulders which were also formed by knitting in the round. So minimal finishing has to be done.
