The Dude Sweater is a classic men's raglan sweater knitting pattern with a regular fit, crew neck, and clean 2x2 ribbing at the hem and cuffs. Worked in Lamana Como Grande for a smooth, polished drape, it's the effortlessly good sweater that looks great on everyone and goes with everything.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases. You begin by casting on stitches for the yoke and working back and forth with increases to shape the neckline opening. The shoulders are joined by the front neck, and the yoke is knitted in the round with raglan increases. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is worked in the round. The neckline ribbing is worked by picking up stitches along the neckline opening. Finally, the sleeves are worked from the held stitches.
