Mirasol M Long Sleeve Raglan Jumper
Garment Overview
The Mirasol M Long Sleeve Raglan Jumper is an easy-level knitted sweater featuring a classic raglan sleeve construction. This pullover design offers a comfortable fit with approximately 6.5 cm (2½ inches) of ease built into the finished measurements. The jumper is available in five sizes ranging from X-small to X-large, with bust measurements from 81.5 cm (32 inches) to 122 cm (48 inches).
Construction Techniques
This garment is constructed using a bottom-up seamed method, meaning the body and sleeves are knitted separately starting from the lower edges and working upward, then assembled together with seams. The pattern utilizes both flat and circular knitting techniques. Flat knitting is employed for the main body pieces and sleeves, while circular needles are used for certain sections to create seamless transitions and ribbed edgings.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The primary stitch used throughout this jumper is stocking stitch (also called stockinette stitch), which creates the smooth, classic knit fabric characteristic of traditional sweaters. The pattern incorporates fundamental knitting techniques including:
- Knit and purl stitches as the foundation of the stocking stitch pattern
- Increases (including the make 1 stitch technique, abbreviated m1, which involves picking up yarn between stitches) to shape the raglan sleeves and body
- Decreases (including slip, slip, knit decreases abbreviated ssk) for shaping and finishing
- Ribbed edgings at the cuffs, neckline, and hem for elasticity and a polished finish
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Mirasol M Long Sleeve Raglan Jumper is designed to be knitted with Mirasol SULKA LEGATO yarn in color #11. The yarn composition is a premium blend of 60% merino wool, 20% alpaca, and 20% silk, creating a luxurious, breathable fabric with excellent drape and softness. Each skein contains approximately 250 meters (273 yards) and weighs 50 grams (1¾ ounces). Depending on the size being made, the pattern requires between 4 and 8 skeins of yarn.
Needles and Tools
The pattern calls for multiple needle sizes to achieve proper tension and construction:
- 2.75 mm (US size 2) straight needles for the main body and sleeve pieces
- 3.25 mm (US size 3) straight needles, or the size required to achieve correct tension, for specific sections
- 2.75 mm (US size 2) circular needle, 60 cm (24 inches) long for ribbed edgings and seamless sections
Additional tools required include stitch holders for managing stitches during assembly, a yarn needle for seaming and weaving in ends, and stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points.
