Rosie Belle

Rosie Belle is an easy to wear, classic sweater with a modern feel. The front features an allover twisted stitch and cable diamond motif sandwiched between thick bands of ribbing above and below it. The body fit, with fitted sleeves and open boat neckline, makes for a sweater that is perfect for layering and mixing and matching in your wardrobe. Rosie Belle was knit up in a very special limited edition farm yarn from Renninger Wool which has a lovely subtle fuzzy halo to the fabric.

Rosie Belle is worked in pieces and seamed. A boat neckline is created by joining the shoulders of the front and the back with a hidden three needle bind off. The sides are seamed using the Mattress Stitch method. Stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round outward from the body.
