Knitting pattern for Emmeline sweater
Emmeline is a basic and delightful raglan sweater that will suit every knitting skill level. It is originally worked in 2 strands of Önling No 10, a combination of mohair and silk, which makes for a wonderfully light texture for almost all seasons.
The design has a fairly general fit, neither tight nor loose, with a positive ease of approx. 5 cm / 2 inches. It features a normal armhole depth and 3/4 length sleeves, and the pattern also includes directions for full length sleeves and high neck. The body is slightly cropped, but the length may of course easily be adjusted as you prefer. You may also work Emmeline in 1 strand of our luxury wool Önling No 1, and your own final version of the design may be varied by changing e.g. body and sleeve length, and of course size of positive ease.
