Light Sweater by Georgia Farrell in Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Felted Tweed (ZB301-00004-EN)
This intermediate-level knitting pattern by designer Georgia Farrell produces a beautifully textured lightweight sweater that combines two iconic Rowan yarns for a sophisticated, airy finish. The design is available as a downloadable PDF and offers an impressive nine size options, making it accessible to a wide range of knitters. The garment is worked in a classic construction with shaping at the neck and shoulders, and features a neckband picked up and worked from a stitch holder — a hallmark of well-finished knitwear.
What Is Being Made
The pattern creates a light, elegant sweater or jumper for women, with actual bust measurements ranging from 90 cm (35½ in) to 172 cm (67¾ in), fitting bust sizes from 71–76 cm (28–30 in) up to 152–157 cm (60–62 in). The sweater is designed to have a relaxed, wearable silhouette with considered ease built into every size. The finished piece is suitable for layering or wearing as a standalone garment across seasons, thanks to the lightweight nature of the yarn combination.
Yarn and Materials
One of the most distinctive features of this pattern is its use of two Rowan yarns held together or used in combination across four colour designations:
- Yarn A – Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Eve Green (shade 684): A lace-weight mohair and silk blend, requiring 3 to 6 balls depending on size (25 g balls).
- Yarn B – Rowan Felted Tweed in Sulfur (shade 220): A DK-weight tweed yarn, requiring 4 to 8 balls depending on size (50 g balls).
- Yarn C – Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Majestic (shade 589): Used as an accent or contrast, with just 1 ball required across all sizes.
- Yarn D – Rowan Felted Tweed in Aluminium (shade 210): A cool grey DK-weight tweed, also used in smaller quantities as a contrast or detail yarn.
The pairing of Kidsilk Haze — a famously gossamer-light blend of kid mohair and silk — with Felted Tweed — a rustic, earthy DK yarn spun from wool, alpaca, and viscose — creates a fabric with wonderful depth, subtle halo, and gentle texture. This combination is a popular technique in Rowan design, producing a fabric that is neither too heavy nor too delicate.
Needles
- 4 mm (UK no. 8 / US 6) needles — used for ribbing, neckband, or tighter tension sections
- 4½ mm (UK no. 7 / US 7) needles — used for the main body fabric
Both needle sizes are standard straight pairs, making this pattern straightforward to work on conventional knitting needles without the need for circular or double-pointed needles for the main sections.
Techniques Used
This is rated as an intermediate knitting pattern, meaning it is best suited to knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping and garment construction. Key techniques featured include:
- Neck shaping: Decreases are worked at the neck edge over multiple rows, with the pattern specifying a decrease of 1 stitch at the neck edge on the next 5 rows, creating a smooth, gradual neckline curve.
- Shoulder shaping: Cast-offs are worked at the beginning of alternate rows simultaneously with neck decreases — a technique that requires careful row-by-row attention and produces a neat, tailored shoulder seam.
- Stitch holder usage: Centre neck stitches (ranging from 25 to 29 stitches depending on size) are slipped onto a holder and later worked up into a neckband, a classic finishing technique that ensures a tidy, professional neckline.
- Mirrored shaping: The second side of the neck and shoulder is completed to match
