Seamed Cabled Raglan Pattern
Herbalist is comfortable, squishy, and easy to wear, the kind of garment that you'll reach for every day. Featuring tubular cast-ons and bind-offs, this sweater makes the most of a special, speckled yarn.
The Herbalist sweater knits up fast with an all-over cable texture on the cropped body and stockinette sleeves. The fit is easily customized, with the pattern including instructions for creating a full-length sweater and tips for adding width to the front. Herbalist is knit flat and seamed with a stretchy tubular hem, neckline, and cuffs.
