"Ravani Raglan" & "Ribbons & Raindrops Sweater", my contribution to Issue 4/2025 of ILikeKnitting magazine

The Issue 4/2025 of "ILikeKnitting" magazine is now available and features a fantastic collection of spring patterns, designed to inspire your creativity, including my two new designs :)

Ravani Raglan

This bottom-up raglan sweater is worked in smooth stockinette stitch, with lace patterning on the sleeves adding a delicate touch of texture. The hems, cuffs, and neckband are finished with a single half-twisted ribbing, creating a refined and polished look.

The sweater was knitted with Scheepjes Cotton 8 yarn.

Ribbons & Raindrops Sweater 

The Ribbons & Raindrops Sweater offers a refreshing take on a classic striped design, combining elements of texture and color to create a playful yet sophisticated look. Designed in stockinette stitch, the sweater is interrupted by colorful "ribbons" of garter stitch and "raindrops" of purl dots, adding an eye-catching detail. The hems and boat-neck are finished with mock cable ribbing for a polished, textured touch.

 The sweater was knitted with Scheepjes Catona yarn.
