This loose-fitting raglan features tapestry crochet patterning, drawstring ties at the waist, and a drawstring hood that utilizes crochet steeking (don’t worry – there is a drawstring turtleneck alternative if you prefer to skip the steeking).
The top is worked in the round from the top down, separating for body and sleeves. Holes for the drawstring are created at the bottom near the waist. The hood, or turtleneck alternative, is worked onto the neckline at the end.
