Depending on amount of ease this will fit sizes from 33-35”. Small sizes will get an oversized sweater; larger sizes a closer fitted version.

Made some clarifying points of the needles, work steps, and expanded the list of abbreviations

oh and changed the name to something more I think  :) Now it's I Love Raglan
