MODE at Rowan Romy Alpaca Wool 8 Ply Striped Sweater Knitting Pattern
Create a luxurious oversized striped sweater with the Romy knitting pattern from MODE at Rowan. Designed by Quail Studio, Romy features a relaxed boxy shape, dropped shoulders, bracelet-length sleeves and contrasting colour details around the edges.
Romy is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning at the shoulders. The upper sections are worked before being joined, with the body then knitted in the round. Its generous fit and clean striped design create a modern autumn and winter wardrobe staple.
The pattern uses two shades of MODE at Rowan Alpaca Wool, a beautifully soft DK / 8 ply yarn containing equal parts alpaca and wool.
