Mar 08, 2021 Coming Soon - Marled Cozy Raglan This sweater is off the charts cozy! I finished my newest sweater design! I'm keeping the name simple and to the point...I’m calling this the "Marled Cozy Raglan". This pattern isn't released yet, but it is with test knitters. Release is planned for early April. For anyone that would like to get a jump start on their yarn and project planning, here are the details… * * * Inspired by a favorite sweatshirt that I’ve had in my closet for over a decade! The silhouette of this sweater has an oversized body, dolman sleeves, and long narrow cuffs. These design features, combined with a mock turtleneck and hi-low hem result in a flattering and comfy wardrobe staple everyone needs. I know I’ll keep this cozy sweater in my rotation for years to come! Plus, the marled fabric created from holding The Farmer’s Daughter bases Recollect and Oh Dang is stunning. Even better, the fabric these yarns create is next to skin is AMAZING!
