pattern for raglan sleeves

[kimmy01]

I'm looking at making a cardigan with raglan sleeves. Anyone here knows the best patterns, yarn type, needle and just about any recommendation, please let me know! I honestly don't know where to start..

Ravelry is a goldmine for patterns! You can filter by construction, yarn weight, and even specific features you want.
For yarn, it depends on the feel you're after but maybe you can choose between wool blends or cotton.
The label on your chosen yarn should suggest the needle size but circular needles are usually the best for cardigans.
I also suggest you knit a gauge swatch to get the right fit!
Enjoy knitting!

Ravelry is a great place to start, as mentioned since it has a wide selection of patterns for different skill levels. If you want a cozy, structured feel, wool blends work well, while cotton is breathable and better for layering. Circular needles are ideal for cardigans, but make sure to check the recommended size on your yarn label. A gauge swatch is a lifesaver! Nothing worse than putting in hours only to end up with something that doesn't fit. Are you aiming for a fitted or more relaxed style?

Yarnspirations is also a good site since they have patterns that works best with the yarns. you might want to check that too

A few years back, I took on my first raglan cardigan completely clueless. I picked a random pattern from a magazine, used the wrong yarn, and grabbed the wrong needles too. I learned quickly! Then I discovered Ravelry, and it really simplified things. I can't emphasize enough how much a good gauge swatch can save you from all sorts of headaches.

I highly recommend a top-down raglan pattern. This means you start at the neck and knit downwards. Why? You can try it on as you go, easily adjust the length of the body and sleeves, and it avoids seaming
go to Ravelry website and search specifically for "top-down raglan cardigan" patterns
