Ronnie Using Rowan Summerlite DK
The Design
This adorable, short-sleeved sweater features textured purl bump stitch ‘stripes’ for a look that balances between retro and modern. Designed by Lisa Richardson for the ‘Nostalgic Style’ design story in Rowan Magazine 69, the pattern includes instructions for two lengths, and a solid-color (shown here) or one-row striped version!
Ronnie was knit in Rowan Summerlite DK—beautifully soft and lightweight. In this DK-weight yarn, Rowan used the finest Giza cotton—the the crème de la crème of Egyptian cotton. This yarn is soft and tactile with a unique matte look. It knits up beautifully for babies and grown-ups alike!
