Knitting Techniques and Construction

Urra is constructed using top-down raglan shaping, a popular method for seamless sweater construction. The yoke is worked in the round from the neck downward, with increases strategically placed at marked raglan "seams" to create the characteristic diagonal lines of a raglan garment. Stitch markers—including red markers to denote the centre back stitch and blue markers to identify each of the four raglan seams—are used throughout the construction to track shaping increases.

The pattern employs make one (M1) increases worked on specific rounds to gradually expand the stitch count as the yoke widens. Knit stitches form the primary fabric, with increases distributed evenly around the yoke to maintain symmetry and proper garment proportions.

Stitches Used

• Knit stitch (K) – the foundation stitch for the main fabric
• Make one (M1) – an invisible increase technique used to shape the raglan seams and expand the yoke

Materials and Yarn

Urra is designed to be worked in Rowan Kid Classic, a soft yarn available in three colorways featured in this pattern:

• Navy 917 (Color A) – 5–9 balls depending on size
• Sky Blue 915 (Color B) – 1–2 balls depending on size
• Arctic 921 (Color C) – 1 ball for all sizes

Each ball of Rowan Kid Classic weighs 50 grams. The use of multiple colors suggests a color-work or striped design element in the finished sweater.

Needles Required

The pattern calls for the following needle sizes:

• 4½mm (UK size 7 / US size 7) double-pointed needles – a set of 4 needles used for the initial cast-on and early rounds
• 5mm (UK size 6 / US size 8) double-pointed needles – a set of 4 needles for continuing the yoke construction
• 4½mm (UK size 7 / US size 7) circular needle – no more than 60–80 cm long, depending on size, for transitioning to circular knitting
• 5mm (UK size 6 / US size 8) circular needle – no more than 60–80 cm long, depending on size, for working the body in the round

The pattern notes that as stitch counts increase during yoke shaping, knitters should transition from double-pointed needles to circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches comfortably.

Skill Level

Urra is rated as an intermediate knitting project. Knitters should be comfortable with circular knitting, stitch marker placement, make one increases, and following shaping instructions across multiple
