Construction notes: The Rosa Sweater is a lace garment worked seamlessly from the top down with three strands of mohair held together. It has a simple raglan shape with short rows creating the higher back, finished with delicately ribbed edges. The sleeves are wide and are slimming down into elegant extralong cuffs. The ribbed edges are finished off with a modified Invisible Ribbed Bind-off. The soft mohair and silk sweater has an allover lace pattern that adds texture and depth to the airy and light feel of the garment. Body and sleeve length are easily adjustable.

Stitch information: The Rosa pattern repeat is both written and charted (please refer to last pages for the charts), the yoke is only given charted.

Pattern inspiration: This pattern is inspired by Rosa Parks. “I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can
to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.”
