(130 CZK is ~ 5.6 USD/ 5.2 EUR/ 4.4 GBP)
I'll walk you through all the steps to create a simple yet stylish top-down seamless raglan sweater.
This kind of sweater is the one beginners often start with, and I added some interesting design elements by incorporating rib lines that run down the length of the sweater.
A "mellow mood" refers to a state of calmness, relaxation, and tranquility, often associated with a gentle and easygoing disposition.

LANGUAGE:
English (use ChatGPT to translate it into your native language).
SKILL LEVEL:
Designed for adventurous knitters who know how to knit and purl. The pattern offers step-by-step instructions and a full video tutorial for creating this sweater with confidence.
METHOD:
This sweater is crafted seamlessly using circular needles, and it's worked from the top down. It starts at the neckline, progressing into a yoke. The yoke is then divided to create both the body and sleeves, which are finished separately.
YARN:
Explore your creativity by choosing from a variety of natural yarns. Opt for 100% wool yarn or explore alternative options easily found at your local yarn store.
I used Drops “Nepal” yarn (65% Wool, 35% Alpaca, aran/worsted, 50 g/75 m or 1.8 oz/82 yards, color #0206) for the Light Beige sweater.
For the Light Gray sweater in the video tutorial, I used Drops “Alaska” yarn (100% Wool, aran/worsted, 50 g/70 m or 1.8 oz/76 yards, color #63 pearl gray, less pleasant to touch than Drops Nepal).
You will need 11-21 skeins for your size (50 grams/1.8 oz).
Alternatively, you can use the following options:
- DROPS Paris.
- DROPS Big Merino (more pleasant to touch than Drops Nepal and Alaska)
- MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran.
- Cascade 220 Superwash Aran.
NEEDLES:
- For neck, cuff, and body ribbing: 4.5 mm (US 7) in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).
- For yoke, body, and sleeves: 5.5 mm (US 9) in the following lengths: 40 cm (16 inches), and 80 or 100 cm (31 or 40 inches).
Alternatively, you can use the Magic Loop technique and work with one needle length of 80-100 cm (31-40 inches).
GAUGE:
16 sts x 22 rows in a 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) piece in Stockinette stitch (after blocking).
TAPESTRY NEEDLE.
Used to slip the sleeve stitches onto scrap yarn and to weave in ends.
STITCH MARKERS:

SIZES:
XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL. Check out the chart on the photo to help you decide which size to choose.
This sweater is designed with 20-25% positive ease, ensuring you'll achieve a relaxed and comfortable fit. If you prefer a more fitted look, you can choose to knit a size or two smaller.
