Rocha from Mode at Rowan – Collection 7 is a
stunning oversized women’s pullover knit in Kid Classic, a wool, and mohair
blend with a delightful fuzziness, soft hand, and just enough nylon for
durability, and Kidsilk Haze, which can be worked with one strand, or double or
even triple it up. The pattern includes the options of long sleeves or
sleeveless. Rocha is knit flat in pieces with both yarns held together from the
bottom up and then seamed. The collar stitches are picked up and worked in the
round.
