About the Rosalindsweater
The Rosalindsweater is a short raglan sweater that goes well with high-waisted pants and skirts. The sweater is worked top down in a broken double rib pattern with wide raglanlines, that accentuate the stitch beautifully. The collar is knitted in pattern stitch and folded over, then the neckline is formed using short rows whilst working the raglan increases at the same time. The sleeves are formed through even decreases.
You can choose between two lengths.

Gauge
10x10cm = 20 stitches x 36 rows on 4 mm needles knitted in broken double rib pattern (after washing).
ATTENTION: It is important to measure the gauge after washing, as it will still widen slightly during washing due to the rib pattern.

Needles
4 mm circular needles (40 cm and 80-100cm), 4 mm double pointed needles (unless you’re using the magic loop method).
