I love a good crochet raglan sweater! Are you a fan of top down designs? Or do you like working from the bottom up? The Willow Sweater is top down or “raglan” style! I haven’t really made too many crochet patterns from the top down. It was fun being able to try it on as I went!
This sweater has no seams and no sewing. Thats definitely a plus. I have to admit though, I don’t mind sewing pieces together and I think my favorite will always be bottom up sweaters in separate pieces. Each time you finish a panel it’s like checking off a task and it seems to go quicker for me!
I love the look of a cozy cowl on a crochet raglan sweater but you could also easily leave it off. It would save you yarn, time and be less bulky in the warmer months!
