    • This stylish garment is knitted in separate pieces, which are each knitted from the bottom up. The vertically diminishing ribbing cleverly brings the pattern inward, creating a sun-ray effect. The raglan shaping creates a well-fitting neckline whilst continuing the rib pattern. The raglan sections of the sleeves and body pieces are joined together, then a circular needle is used to knit the neckband, creating the fiery tips of the rays encircling the collar bone and drawing the eye upwards.

      Sun-Ray Ribbing is knitted using Susan Crawford Excelana North, fingering weight a 100% british wool, which is soft against the skin and also has great elasticity and definition, both of which are essential for this form-fitting, ribbed garment. The shade is Siren, a warm, pillar-box red, which really sets off this fabulous design.

      Our model Fleur is shown wearing the third size to fit 97-102cm (38-40in). It is suggested you choose a size with 0-2.5cm (0-1in) of positive ease at the chest to achieve a similar fit to that shown.

      The pattern includes instructions for five sizes to fit chest measurements between 71cm (28in) and 132cm (52in) and contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
