Part cardigan, part wrap; this European inspired asymmetrical garment is sure to have others take notice while wrapping you in style & warmth. Primarily knit in stockinette stitch, a simple eyelet edge provides an interesting finish.
Lightweight yarn knit at a loose gauge gives the Under Wraps Cardigan an airy, flowing drape great for wrapping around your shoulders. Using a provisional crochet cast on and with the assistance of Magic Loop, the entire garment is knit without a single seam. Once the knitting is completed, finishing takes only a few minutes.
The flexibility of this cardigan makes it versatile enough to suit a wide range of body styles. It is perfect for casual Saturday shopping trips and dressy enough to wear over evening wear and a must-have piece for expectant or nursing mothers. If desired, the length and width of the wrap can be altered to make the wrap portion larger or smaller (may affect yarn yardage needed).

Unlike most sweaters with a defined body, Rosarian does not include the typical sweater pieces: body, sleeves, underarm, etc. But instead has a body that encircles the shoulders and upper arms with elbow length arm openings just above the fitted waistband.

Rosarian’s unique shape and drapy fabric create a flattering silhouette for most any body type and the rows of dropped stitches make for a speedy knit to kick off your warm weather knitting.

Rosarian is knit in CoBaSi, a fingering weight cotton with a little silk and bamboo for shine and drape and just enough elastic to keep its shape; the perfect summer sweater yarn.

The critical measurement of the sweater is the waistband (high hip circumference). Rosarian is designed to sit at the high hip with 0-3 inches of negative ease.

High Hip Circumference, stretched: 30, 33.5, 38, 42, 45.5, 49, 52.5
inches (shown with 2 inches negative ease)

Length: 20.5, 20.5, 22, 22, 23.5, 23.5, 23.5 inches
