Rosalind Boatneck
$13.00
The Rosalind Boatneck is a set-in sweater knitting pattern with a boat neck, balloon sleeves, and a 1x1 ribbed hem, knitted in a mossy green marl of Rauma Finull held together with Alpakka Lin. Structural, just like its namesake. Rosalind Franklin captured the X-ray image that revealed DNA's double helix, the discovery that changed biology forever. We figured she deserved a sweater named after her.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start with the back piece before picking up stitches for each shoulder separately and shaping the neckline opening with short rows. The front and back pieces are joined under the armhole and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are worked top down by picking up stitches.
