Kid’s Chunky Raglan Sweater Crochet Pattern

The Kid’s Chunky Raglan Sweater Crochet Pattern is made with 2 Chunky Caron Cakes. Because of the raglan style and the chunky yarn, it works up so fast. I had the entire sweater done in just one afternoon! I used self striping yarn for this sweater, but I did cut the yarn to get to the colors I wanted when doing the sleeves. There were a few ends to weave in, but the matching stripes were worth it!
