It incorporates gently gathered, elbow length set-in sleeves, a neat crew neck and close-fitting silhouette, perfect for wearing with full skirted dresses or slim fitting pencil skirts alike. Rose features all-over patterning which includes dainty roses in pink and red, trailing ivy in peach and green plus elegant diamond shaped stripes in tones of fawn, beige, lemon and cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRose\u003c\/strong\u003e is knitted in the round from the bottom up, with a steek at the centre front. The sleeve are also knitted in the round from the cuff upwards but are then joined to the body at the underarm and the cardigan is then knitted in one piece until the neckline is reached. At this point the work is divided. The front is knitted longer than the back in order for the pattern to wrap over the shoulder, where it is then grafted to the back stitches. The sleeves are separated from the body shortly before the final few rows are worked with gathering created by working stitches together. Once the gathers have been formed, the top of the sleeve head is then sewn into the top of the armhole. The welt, cuffs and neckband are worked in 1x1 ribbing, whilst the button bands are worked in moss (seed) stitch as a contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRose\u003c\/strong\u003e is knitted using [productlink: Susan Crawford Fenella = fenella :productlink]our unique 'vintage 3 ply equivalent' yarn spun from 100% British wool.
