Lang 267-58 Raglan Sweater by LANGYARNS

What is Being Made

The Lang 267-58 Raglan Sweater, branded as LANGYARNS KYLIE, is a knitted pullover sweater featuring classic raglan sleeve construction. This garment is available in two size ranges: S–M with a bust measurement of 44 inches (112 cm) and L–XL with a bust measurement of 48¾ inches (124 cm). The finished length is 23½ inches (60 cm), making this a standard-length pullover suitable for everyday wear.

Knitting Techniques Used

This sweater employs multiple construction techniques to create its finished structure:

• Bottom-up construction: The sweater is knitted beginning at the lower edge and working upward toward the neckline
• Worked flat: The body and sleeves are knitted on straight needles in flat rows rather than in continuous rounds, requiring seaming to join pieces
• Seamed construction: Individual pieces (front, back, and sleeves) are knitted separately and then sewn together
• Lace elements: Decorative lace patterning is incorporated into the design, adding visual interest and texture
• Raglan shaping: The sleeves are set with raglan armholes, which feature diagonal decreases from the underarm to the neckline

Stitches Used

The sweater utilizes fundamental knitting stitches combined with lace techniques:

• Ribbed stitch (Rib St): Created with alternating purl and knit stitches in a 1x1 pattern. This elastic stitch is used for the lower edge and provides stretch and structure. The ribbing is worked on US 2.5 (3mm) needles and measures 1¼ inches (3 cm) from the cast-on edge
• Stockinette stitch: The primary fabric stitch, created by knitting on right-side rows and purling on wrong-side rows. This smooth, classic stitch forms the body of the sweater
• Lace pattern stitch: A decorative pattern divisible by 4 stitches plus 3 additional stitches, incorporating yarn overs and decreases to create openwork details. The pattern repeats across the garment width
• Decreases: Knit two stitches together (k2tog) and purl two stitches together (p2tog) are used for both shaping and lace pattern creation
• Yarn overs (yo): These create the openwork characteristic of lace patterns

Materials and Needles

The Lang 267-58 Raglan Sweater is designed to be knitted with LANGYARNS KYLIE yarn, a luxury blend fiber containing cotton, silk, wool, and viscose. The yardage requirements are 400 grams (8 balls) for the S–M size and 500 grams (10 balls) for the L–XL size. The yarn specified is available in the colorway gold 1038.0050.

The pattern requires ADDI brand knitting needles in two sizes: US 2.5 (3mm) needles for the ribbed cuff and US 4 (3.5mm) needles for the body and lace pattern work. Additionally, one short circular needle in size US 2.5 (3mm) is needed, likely for picking up stitches at the neckline or for other finishing techniques.

Pattern Structure and Shaping

The front piece begins with 136 stitches (S–M) or 152 stitches (L–XL) cast on using the smaller needles. After completing the ribbed cuff, the pattern transitions to the larger needles and stockinette stitch with simultaneous decreasing to shape the waist. The decrease row removes 22 stitches (S–M) or 26 stitches (L–XL) distributed across the row using k2tog decreases spaced at regular intervals.

Armhole shaping begins when the back measures 11 inches (28 cm) for S–M or 10¼ inches (26 cm) for L–XL from the cast-on edge. At this point, the center 16 stitches (S–M) or 18 stitches (L–XL) are marked for the neckline, with approximately 48–53 stitches remaining on each side.
