Rosa is a generous fitting pullover featuring a simple ribbed pattern down the front with a scoop neck and ribbed sleeves for a snug fit. This idea first came to me when I seen the beautiful skeins of yarn. I wanted a design that would really show off my true style but was also minimal enough to allow the beauty of the yarn to shine thorugh. - Andrea
YARN Biscotte Yarns - DK Pure 238m / 260yds / 90% superwash merino and 10% silk. Sample is knit in colorway Limited Edition #1300. 4 (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) skeins.
This limited edition color (which is no longer available) is very close to the Louise Robert Design Collection color EPIC 😉.
NEEDLES
Main Fabric - 4.5mm (US#7) circular needles of at least 75 cm (30”) and preferred needles for small circumference knitting (or size needed to obtain gauge)
Ribbing– 4mm (US#6) circular needles of at least 75 cm (30”) and preferred needles for small circumference knitting
Sleeve Cuff – preferred 3.5mm (US#4) for small circumference knitting
NOTES This sweater is knit top down with a drop shoulder construction meant to be worn with 6 – 8 inches of positive ease. The sample is knit in size 34 with a positive ease of 8 inches. The whole sleeve is knit in 2x2 ribbing without any decreases just a change in needle size at the last inch of the sleeve for a snug fit.
I really like this pattern. The construction of the shoulders/neck is really nice, and it is a fun knit. The neckline construction is tricky, but after that, it is smooth sailing.
