Bert Raglan by Lindsay Degen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website).

A few strong colors combine with supporting neutrals for Bert’s high-energy look. Mismatched stripes at the raglan edges both draw attention to the shaping and give a casual vibe. The look of “random” stripes comes from starting different pieces at different points in a set sequence; the pattern includes a blank template for you to color in to try out your own ideas!
