Turtleneck Raglan Sleeve Sweater

How to Measure

Measure a similar sweater you own and compare. Lay it flat on a table, smooth but without stretching. Knitwear is elastic; allow a tolerance of ±1–3 cm (±1 in).

• Chest/Bust width
  Measure straight across from underarm to underarm (pit-to-pit). Double this for the full circumference.
• Body length
  For raglan knits: measure from the high point of the shoulder at the neckline (where the collar rib meets the body) straight down to the hem.
• Sleeve length (raglan)
  Option A: Measure from the center back neck (CBN) to the end of the cuff along the top of the sleeve.
  Option B: Measure from the neckline seam where the raglan seam begins to the cuff. Many size charts use CBN-to-cuff for raglan sleeves.
• Hem width
  Measure straight across the bottom hem; double for circumference.
• Turtleneck height
  Measure the ribbed collar from its base to top edge, unfolded. If you prefer a folded collar, halve this measurement for on-body height.

Tip: Measure after the sweater has rested flat for a few hours. Knits can grow slightly on hanger and relax after steaming/washing.

Materials

Check the Composition on this page or the garment tag for the exact fiber content. Here’s a guide to the most common sweater fibers and how they feel/perfom:

• Merino wool: Soft, breathable, naturally temperature-regulating. Great warmth-to-weight. Moderate pilling possible; responds well to gentle de-pilling.
• Cashmere: Very soft hand-feel and light warmth. Can pill more at high-friction areas; handle delicately.
• Alpaca (or alpaca blends): Airy, lofty warmth with low itch for many wearers. Can shed lightly; resilient with less pilling than short-staple fibers.
• Cotton: Breathable and easy-care. Heavier drape than wool; less insulating when cold but comfortable indoors or in transitional seasons.
• Acrylic/Polyester blends: Soft, lightweight, and durable; easy-care but less breathable than natural fibers. May pill with abrasion.
• Nylon/Elastane (in trims): Added for shape retention in ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem.

Note: Color, hand-feel, and weight can vary by yarn and knit structure. Always follow the care label on your specific garment.

Model & Fit Information

• Intended fit: easy through the body with raglan sleeves for extra shoulder room.
• Turtleneck: designed to sit close at the neck for warmth; fold once or scrunch for a relaxed look.
• Length: typically hits at or slightly below the hip on most heights.
• If you prefer a neater silhouette, consider sizing down; for a slouchier, layered look, size up.
• When provided, model height, measurements, and wearing size on this page can be used as a reference against your own measurements.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the care label first. The steps below are best-practice for knitwear:

• Washing
  • Wool/Cashmere/Alpaca: Hand wash cold with a wool-safe detergent, or use a machine wool cycle in a mesh bag. Minimal spin.
  • Cotton/Blends: Cold gentle cycle; turn inside out to reduce abrasion.
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners; they can damage fibers and elastics.
• Drying
  • Do not wring. Press water out gently, roll in a towel to remove excess.
  • Reshape and dry flat away from direct heat or sun. Do not hang when wet.
• De-pilling & refresh
  • Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver lightly on pills. This is normal with soft yarns.
  • Air between wears; steaming helps refresh shape and remove creases. Low iron with a pressing cloth if needed.
• Storage
  • Fold, don’t hang, to prevent stretching—especially at the turtleneck and shoulders.
  • Store clean with cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Wear care
  • Avoid rough straps and abrasive surfaces that cause friction.
  • Rotate the fold of the turtleneck to maintain elasticity.

Style Tips

• Casual: Pair with straight-leg or wide-leg denim and sneakers; try a half-tuck to define the waist.
• Work: Tuck into tailored trousers with loafers; add a blazer or longline coat for polish.
• Feminine: Balance the cozy knit with a satin or slip midi skirt and heeled boots.
• Layering: Wear under a blazer, chore jacket, or oversized coat; the raglan sleeve keeps shoulders comfortable.
• Proportion play: If the sweater is roomy, keep the bottom streamlined (slim pants, pencil or column skirt).
• Neckline styling: Fold the turtleneck once for structure or scrunch for a relaxed feel; add small hoop earrings or a bold lip to highlight the face.
• Tonal dressing: Create a monochrome look with similar shades for an elevated, lengthening effect.
