KNITTING PATTERN - ADULT Calvin Sweater // Raglan Pullover // Written Instructions + Progress Chart + Video Tutorials // Unisex Sizing

After designing the Calvin Sweater at the request of my 6 year old son, I thought it may be nice to have a coordinating one for myself. This version is sized for adults with less positive ease than the child’s version. I HIGHLY recommend reading through the pattern notes before casting on as there are lots of helpful hints and answers to many questions you may have. Have fun making matching sets for the whole family!

Fit: This raglan pullover can easily be customized for both men and women. Choose your size based on your chest/bust measurement + your desired ease. Adjust sleeve length by +/- the number of rounds between decreases; adjust the body length by +/- the number of rounds. Adding length will require additional yardage. Be sure to order extra yarn.

For reference, sample shown has +1” of positive ease.

Schematic and full chart with all measurements is provided.

Video Tutorials: Two videos are embedded into the pattern -- one showing the cable cast on and the other showing how to work jogless stripes in the round.
