The ever-classic raglan is still one of my favorite sweater styles to knit and to wear. The raglan shaping lends itself to the roomy fit that growing kids need. A single band at the hem, cuffs, and neck is just enough to add a little color to this classic style.

Oh my gosh, your little girl is so cute. She is such a model! It reminds me a bit of my daughter when she was that age. I am planning on making the Luna Trail Pullover for my son when I finish my current projects---I would love to see that sweater sized up for grown-ups, too!;)!
