Rowan Tudor Rose Sweater
What is Being Made
The Rowan Tudor Rose Sweater is an intermediate-level knitted pullover garment featuring a sophisticated patterned design. This sweater is available in nine sizes, ranging from 28-30 inches to 60-62 inches bust measurement, with actual garment bust measurements from 75.5 cm to 158.5 cm. The design combines decorative colorwork with classic sweater shaping, making it suitable for knitters with some experience in pattern work and garment construction.
Techniques Used
This pattern employs multiple colorwork techniques to create the Tudor Rose design. The primary methods include:
- Fairisle Technique: Used for working with yarns A and B throughout the pattern, allowing for the seamless integration of two colors within rows
- Intarsia Technique: Applied for all other colors in the design, enabling the use of additional color blocks while maintaining fabric integrity
- Chart-Based Construction: The sweater is worked entirely from charts, with the back piece worked completely in stockinette stitch beginning with a knit row
- Shaping Techniques: The pattern includes side shaping through strategic increases, armhole shaping with cast-offs and decreases, and shoulder shaping for proper garment fit
Stitches Used
The sweater is constructed primarily using stockinette stitch (knit on right-side rows, purl on wrong-side rows) as the foundation fabric. This classic stitch provides a smooth, refined surface ideal for displaying the colorwork pattern. The pattern incorporates increases and decreases for shaping the garment at the sides, armholes, and shoulders, creating a well-fitted silhouette.
Materials
The Rowan Tudor Rose Sweater is knitted using Rowan Felted Tweed yarn, a premium 50-gram ball weight yarn. The design utilizes six distinct colors from the Rowan palette:
- Color A: Black 211
- Color B: Granite 191
- Color C: Candy Floss 221
- Color D: Amethyst 192
- Color E: Ultramarine 214
- Color F: Heliotrope 219
Yarn quantities vary by size, with the smallest size requiring 4 balls each of colors A and B, and 1 ball each of colors C through F. Larger sizes require proportionally more yardage. The pattern is worked on needles appropriate for Rowan Felted Tweed yarn, with construction beginning at the back piece and progressing through armhole and shoulder shaping to create the finished sweater.
