CROCHET RAGLAN SWEATER ZEBRA
Pattern Notes
1) Crochet Raglan Sweater Sizing
This sweater has been designed for a classic fit with 1 inch positive ease.
2) This crochet raglan sweater is a cozy all-year wardrobe staple!
It is worked from the top down using ZEBRA acrylic yarn, it works up quite quickly, and you can try it on as you go.
3) The pattern is written for 8-9 years old kids. And the entire sweater is crocheted using a single stitch and a double crochet stitch, so it’s a great pattern to try if this is your first crochet sweater or pullover.
4) The pattern is written for a classic fit, but if you would like an oversized fit you can simply crochet a larger size! And you can easily adjust the length of the sweater by working more/less body rounds. I crocheted my sweater in a solid color but you can make any colored and a striped version.
5) A Ch 1 at beg of the row/round DOESN'T count as a stitch, place the first stitch in the first st from previous row
6) All rounds are worked in closed rounds, join at the end the round with a slip stitch on the top of beginning stitch. Turn your work when you finish the round and chain one.
7) The stitch count for each row/round is given in [ ] at the end of the row/round. If no stitch count is given, then the count is the same as the previous round/row.
8) This CROCHET RAGLAN SWEATER ZEBRA is crocheted in rounds/rows, turn your work when you finish the round/row.

KANGAROO POCKET
Kangaroo pocket – work in rows, make decrease at the beginning and at the end on every second row, make decrease on single crochet rows.
If you want to have you kangaroo pocket wider or narrower, just adjust the lenght of the foundation chain, you can simply add or remove chains.
To adjust the length of the kangaroo pocket, simply repeat the last 2 rows till you are satisfied with the length.
NECKLINE RIBBING TUNEL
Note: Ribbing is worked at a right angle to foundation chain at the beginning of the yoke and is joined to the foundation chain as you go.
As I decided to change colors, I made one more round between the foundation chain and ribbing tunel. I made also decrease on this first round 4 times – in each corner, I joined 2 stitches together.
