Nola is a top-down raglan cardigan inspired by the graceful blooms of magnolia trees. Simple yet striking intarsia motifs adorn the sleeves, creating a design that is both elegant and bold. Knit with a bulky-weight yarn (we’ll be using Promise) on US size 8 and 9 circular needles (24” or longer), this sweater works up quickly while showcasing beautiful texture and colorwork.
The pattern includes options for both regular and wide sleeves, and the body length can easily be customized by adjusting your yarn quantity. Intarsia on each sleeve is worked from charts, and the raglan shaping instructions are color-coded for clarity—please print in color or refer to the original digital pattern to fully benefit from this visual guidance.
