The Allrounder is a classic relaxed fitted raglan sweater with wide sleeves that is knit seamlessly, top down, in the round. After working the raglan increases, but before splitting for the sleeves, the garment is worked flat. This method of creating short rows in the back of the garment will create length for a better fit. Increases at the beginning and the end of the right side rows will simultaneously shape the armholes. The Allrounder has a cropped length and ends approximately between the belly button and hips. It has a split hem that is longer at the back than the front.

You can knit the knit stitches in the ribbings as usual (beige Allrounder) or through the back loop (gray Allrounder). Please feel free to customize the Allrounder for yourself. For example, you can knit longer sleeves, change the overall length, knit a hem without slits etc. It is best to try it on regularly while knitting so that the Allrounder suits you in the end and lives up to its name.
