This Mod Christmas Sweater Crochet Pattern is a raglan style sweater with cute striped sleeves. I went with some modern Christmas colors for my sleeves, but they can be made in any color combination. This is my first raglan sweater design and I LOVE IT. The best part is there is no sewing. NONE. There are quite a bit of ends due to the stripes, but still… no sewing!

That’s so cute. I love the neckline. I was thinking you did the neckline last, and was surprised to see that’s where you started. I think this will be a fun pattern to work. I’m already thinking pink stripes for Valentines Day and greens for St Patty’s Day. Thanks again for all your hard work in getting new patterns out to us, that are so easy to follow!!!
Thank you!
Please, Please can you make a video for this sweater?
