{"product_id":"nessa-raglan-knitting-pattern","title":"Nessa Raglan Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eNessa is the Vala most known for her dancing, and she is swift as an arrow from the string. Inspired by the joy of her dance on lawns of never-fading green, the Nessa raglan hearkens back to the glory of Valinor, where the Valar dwelt in bliss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nessa raglan is worked from the bottom up in the round, beginning with a tubular cast-on for the hem and cuffs. After working 1x1 ribbing for the hem, you will begin the colorwork for the body. Sleeve increases shape the sleeve gradually after the ribbed cuff, and body and sleeves are joined after the colorwork to work the yoke in the round. The yoke utilizes compound raglan shaping for a better fit, especially at the underarms. Before finishing the yoke decreases, short rows are worked to raise the back neck before the collar. The collar is worked in 1x1 ribbing and finished with a tubular bind-off. To finish, the underarms are grafted together using Kitchener stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(1, 2, 3) (4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinished Measurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBust - (35.5, 39.5, 43.25) (47.25, 51, 55) (59, 63.5, 67.5)in \/ (90, 100.5, 110) (120, 129.5, 139.5) (150, 161.5, 171.5)cm\u003cbr\u003eUpper Arm - (11, 12, 13.25) (14, 15.25, 16.75) (18.25, 20, 21.5)in \/ (28, 30.5, 33.5) (35.5, 38.5, 42.5) (46.5, 51, 54.5)cm\u003cbr\u003eSee pattern photos for schematic and chart with additional measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Ease\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u20282-4in (5-10cm) positive ease at bust\/chest is recommended, but the pattern can comfortably be worn with more positive ease and not look too baggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGauge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStockinette in the round\u003cbr\u003e20.5 sts x 26 rounds = 4in (10cm)\u003cbr\u003e1x1 ribbing in the round\u003cbr\u003e26 sts = 4in (10cm)\u003cbr\u003eMeasure gauge after blocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYarn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSample used\u003cbr\u003eLittle Lionhead Knits NSW DK \u003cbr\u003e100% NSW Merino (246yds, 100g)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRequired yardage \/ meterage\u003cbr\u003eColor A (gold in sample)\u003cbr\u003e(683, 781, 839) (937, 1042, 1122) (1262, 1362, 1475) yds\u003cbr\u003e(625, 715, 768) (857, 953, 1026) (1154, 1246, 1349) m\u003cbr\u003eColor B (green in sample)\u003cbr\u003e(182, 199, 217) (235, 253, 303) (323, 347, 367) yds\u003cbr\u003e(167, 182, 199) (215, 232, 278) (296, 318, 336) m\u003cbr\u003eColor C (blue in sample)\u003cbr\u003e(143, 158, 174) (189, 205, 252) (269, 291, 309) yds\u003cbr\u003e(131, 145, 160) (173, 188, 231) (246, 267, 283) m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(Note: I try to always make my yardage suggestions generous, but you may need more than the suggested yardage if you choose certain modifications like extra length in the body and\/or sleeves.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeedles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u2028US 4 (3.5mm) needles or size needed to obtain gauge \u003cbr\u003eCirculars for body and DPNs or long circulars for sleeves and collar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u20286 stitch markers (at least two of these need to be locking)\u003cbr\u003escrap yarn or stitch holders\u003cbr\u003etapestry needle\u003cbr\u003eblocking supplies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor questions or pattern support, email refractedlightfiberarts@gmail.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern has been tech edited and test knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright October 2024, all rights reserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Refracted Light Fiber Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44533403484260,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2563\/8756\/files\/IMG_0303-VSCO.jpg?v=1728434094","url":"https:\/\/www.refractedlightfiberarts.com\/products\/nessa-raglan-knitting-pattern","provider":"Refracted Light Fiber Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
