Another Brick in the Wall Raglan Sweater

What is Being Made

Another Brick in the Wall is a relaxed raglan sweater designed by Hinterm Stein. This knitting pattern features a simply constructed sweater with decorative brick details at the front and sleeves. The design is available in two versions: a longer version (B) and a shorter version (A). The sweater is offered in six sizes ranging from XS to XXL, with finished bust widths of 86-97-103-114-120-126 cm (34-38-41-45-48-50 inches).

Knitting Techniques and Construction

This sweater employs a raglan construction method, which creates seamless shaping from the neckline down through the shoulders and sleeves. The raglan technique is a popular approach in knitting that allows for comfortable fit and modern silhouette. The pattern is designed with an intermediate difficulty level, making it suitable for knitters who have mastered basic techniques but are ready for projects with more interesting details.

The designer recommends knitting this sweater with a little ease for comfort and a modern look, suggesting that the finished garment should be slightly larger than body measurements for a relaxed, contemporary fit. The brick details at the front and sleeves add visual interest and texture to the project, providing enough complexity to keep knitters engaged throughout the construction without overwhelming intermediate-level crafters.

Stitches and Stitch Definition

The pattern utilizes stitches that benefit from good stitch definition, which is why the designer recommends selecting yarn with this quality. The brick details are created through stitch work that creates a textured, dimensional appearance reminiscent of brick patterns.

Materials and Yarn Requirements

Another Brick in the Wall is designed to be knitted with DK weight yarn. The pattern is flexible regarding specific yarn choice, as any yarn matching the required gauge will work for this project. The designer particularly recommends selecting a yarn material with good stitch definition to showcase the brick details effectively.

Yarn consumption varies by size and version:

• Longer version (B): 1025-1090-1200-1310-1420-1530 meters (1130-1200-1320-1440-1560-1685 yards) depending on size
• Shorter version (A): Approximately 50-70 meters (55-77 yards) less than the longer version

Yardage requirements may vary based on individual gauge and specific yarn choice, so knitters should verify their gauge swatch before beginning the project and adjust yardage estimates accordingly.
