Rathbone Pattern

Designer, Holli Yeoh, created this v-neck sweater, which has a flattering a-line shape and subtle texture on the sleeves and along the neck. It is worked from the bottom up in pieces and seamed. Originally, the sweater was designed in Arranmore Light but has now been reimagined in Acadia, which has a luxurious hand and creates a fabric with lovely drape.

Yarn:

The Fibre Co. Arranmore Light (80% Merino wool, 10% cashmere, 10% silk, 300 m (328 yd) per 100g hank) in Kinnego Bay – 4 [4: 5: 5: 5: 6: 6: 7: 7] hanks.
The Fibre Co. Acadia (60% Merino wool, 20% baby alpaca, 20% silk, 133 m (145 yd) per 50g hank) in Summersweet – 9 [9: 12: 12: 12: 14: 14: 16: 16] hanks.

Construction notes:

This tunic is worked flat, in pieces from the bottom up. Back shoulder shaping is fully fashioned with single/ double/ triple decreases (depending on size), and the front shoulders are worked straight with deeper armholes than the back, to move the shoulder seam towards the back for a decorative flourish, and an improved fit. Decorative ridged panels frame the front v-neckline and are worked on the upper back and sleeve cuffs.
