Ravenstone

Vertical texture adds length along the body for this striking ribbed sweater. Worked in pieces, with raglan shaping, this structured garment is a little more polished as a result. Strong geometric shapes make the pattern easy to memorise with regular repeats. The feeling of length is continued by a hem that sits comfortably on the hips, without any bulk thanks to the DK weight this pattern calls for. Choose a size that allows for 20-25 cm (8-10 in) positive ease at bust. This pattern includes “work at the same time” instructions and requires you to be comfortable with reversing shaping in the neck and shoulder area.
