Killing Me Softly Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Killing Me Softly Sweater is a raglan sweater with a moderate positive ease.

The sweater is knit from the top down with raglan increases. The pattern structure is made by elongated stitches.

First of the neckband is worked in ribbing, folded to the back and knit together. Then continue straight to the yoke beginning with a few short rows to shape the back of the neck. After working all raglan increases, the work is divided into sleeves and body and finished individually with a ribbing trim at the bottom.
