8. Your Dream Raglan Pullover

Ready Set Raglan is your guide to making your dream raglan pullover! Whether you love a high neck pullover with split hems or a hugging ribbed pattern with bracelet-length sleeves, our raglan pullover collection has got you covered! The book teaches you how to customise many elements of a pullover, and even includes a section dedicated to playing with colour - another way to take ownership of your knitting and make something that's truly unique. 

(An extract from Ready Set Raglan's Exploring Colour section!)

The Pom Team use equations to plan their preferred styles! To give you a little inspiration, we've shared ours below! We encourage you to map out your perfect pullover or pullovers and then make them happen! Simply take [ideal length] + [preferred sleeve style] + [favoured hem] + [favourite yarn] = your optimal raglan! Dreams do come true!

Many of the Pom Team were the sample knitters for the pullovers you see in the book! So it was a chance to put our equations to the test!
