Rowan Shadow Knitted Top by Georgia Farrell
What is Being Made
The Rowan Shadow is an intermediate-level knitted top designed to fit bust measurements ranging from 71-76 cm (28-30 inches) up to 152-157 cm (60-62 inches). This garment features a raglan armhole construction and is available in nine different size options to accommodate a wide range of body measurements. The actual bust measurement of the finished garment ranges from 83.5 cm to 165.5 cm depending on the selected size.
Techniques Used
This knitting pattern employs several intermediate-level construction techniques. The garment is shaped using raglan armholes, which are created by casting off stitches at the beginning of rows and then working strategic decreases to form the characteristic diagonal lines from the underarm to the neckline. The pattern utilizes decreasing techniques including knit two together (K2tog) and slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, K1, psso) for shaping. The top is worked primarily in stockinette stitch (st st), which creates a smooth, classic fabric. The pattern note indicates that circular needles may be preferred for accommodating the large number of stitches, particularly on the front and back pieces, though the garment is worked backwards and forwards in rows rather than in the round.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch (st st) – the primary stitch throughout the garment, created by alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side
- Knit two together (K2tog) – a right-leaning decrease used for raglan shaping
- Slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over (sl 1, K1, psso) – a left-leaning decrease used for balanced raglan shaping
- Purl two together (P2tog) – a decrease worked on wrong-side rows
- Purl two together through the back loop (P2tog tbl) – an alternative decrease variation for specific size ranges
Materials
The Rowan Shadow is knitted using Rowan Felted Tweed yarn, a 50-gram weight yarn. The pattern calls for three coordinating colors: Vaseline Green (color 204) as the primary yarn, requiring 4 to 8 balls depending on size; Rose Quartz (color 206) as an accent color, requiring 1 ball for all sizes; and Alabaster (color 197) as a secondary color, requiring 2 to 3 balls depending on size. The pattern is worked on 3¼mm (US 3) needles and 4mm (US 6) needles, with the 4mm needles being the primary size for the main fabric. Circular needles in both sizes are recommended, with the 4mm circular needle requiring a minimum length of 50 to 90 cm depending on the garment size. The recommended tension is 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 centimeters measured over stockinette stitch using the 4mm needles.
