What is inside the pattern?

Written directions for a raglan pullover worked from the neckline down in the round. The construction includes German short-row shaping at the yoke, stockinette fabric, purl details and rolled edges.

Twelve size options cover body bust measurements from 75 to 130 cm. The yarn plan gives quantities by size, and the length can be adjusted to suit the shape you want.

Is this the right project for me?

Intermediate. Be comfortable knitting in the round, following raglan shaping and working German short rows. Plain stockinette makes up much of the fabric, while the yoke shaping and purl details call for attention to your place in the instructions.

This is a good choice when you want a relaxed garment with construction to engage you, rather than a lace or colourwork project.

Finished size & fit

Choose by your body bust measurement and the finished sweater circumference. Size numbers 1–12 correspond to body busts of 75 / 80 / 85 / 90 / 95 / 100 / 105 / 110 / 115 / 120 / 125 / 130 cm.

Finished busts: 100 / 105 / 110 / 115 / 120 / 125 / 125 / 130 / 135 / 140 / 145 / 150 cm. Sizes 1–6 allow 25 cm of positive ease; sizes 7–12 allow 20 cm. Positive ease is the extra room beyond your body measurement.

The suggested sweater length is 40–55 cm and can be adapted. Compare the finished width with a relaxed sweater you already enjoy wearing before choosing your size.

Tulip Raglan Sweater Knitting Pattern

Tulip Raglan Sweater Knitting Pattern

A quiet design, with details you notice up close.

The rolled edges soften the outline, while purl details give the smooth fabric a little contrast. It is the kind of sweater that works with what is already in your wardrobe, without needing a special occasion.

Choose a gentle neutral for everyday layering, or make the same shape in a colour you have been saving for a garment you will actually wear.

Tulip Raglan Sweater Knitting Pattern

Plan the roominess before the first stitch.

Tulip is deliberately generous through the body. The size guide separates your bust measurement from the sweater's finished circumference, so you can see how much extra room you are choosing.

The top-down route also gives you a clear construction sequence: shape the yoke, follow the raglan, then continue the sweater. Decide on your preferred length when planning the yarn.

A few things to gather.

Check your yarn and needles before you begin.

How do I receive my pattern?

After payment, download from the order confirmation page or the link in your email. Contact us if you cannot find your file.

What is the refund policy?

Digital purchases are generally non-refundable. If you bought a duplicate or have a problem with your pattern, contact us and we will help.

Does a size number mean my usual clothing size?

Use the measurements instead of a clothing-size label. The pattern has twelve options with body busts from 75 to 130 cm; finished busts run from 100 to 150 cm. The extra room is intentional.

Can I change the length?

Yes. The length is adjustable, with a suggested range of 40–55 cm. A longer sweater can require extra yarn, so allow for your intended version when planning supplies.
