Pattern - Sun Ray Ribbing
[tabblock]
[tab1: The Sun-Ray Ribbing sweater is an incredibly elegant yet easy-to-wear sweater incorporating a simple all-over ribbed design. Dressed up or dressed down, this sweater fits perfectly into vintage and non-vintage wardrobes alike and is a great introduction to sweater knitting for someone wanting to build their knitting skills.
This stylish garment is knitted in separate pieces, which are each knitted from the bottom up. The vertically diminishing ribbing cleverly brings the pattern inward, creating a sun-ray effect. The raglan shaping creates a well-fitting neckline whilst continuing the rib pattern. The raglan sections of the sleeves and body pieces are joined together, then a circular needle is used to knit the neckband, creating the fiery tips of the rays encircling the collar bone and drawing the eye upwards.
Sun-Ray Ribbing is knitted using [link: Susan Crawford Excelana North, fingering weight = /collections/excelana-4-ply :link] a 100% british wool, which is soft against the skin and also has great elasticity and definition, both of which are essential for this form-fitting, ribbed garment. The shade is [productlink: Siren = siren :productlink], a warm, pillar-box red, which really sets off this fabulous design.
Our model Fleur is shown wearing the third size to fit 97-102cm (38-40in). It is suggested you choose a size with 0-2.5cm (0-1in) of positive ease at the chest to achieve a similar fit to that shown.
The pattern includes instructions for five sizes to fit chest measurements between 71cm (28in) and 132cm (52in) and contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart. :tab1]
