Ursina

DESCRIPTION

URSINA is a classic sweater with simple construction and unique detailing. A rework of my URSA sweater pattern, which was designed for bulky weight yarn in 9 sizes, this new pattern has been graded for both sport and worsted weight in 12 sizes. The sweater is constructed from the top-down with raglan shaping for the sleeves, optional horizontal bust darts in 6 cup sizes, and instructions and yardage details for cropped or full length. Like the original pattern, URSINA includes directions to try it on as you work and notations to help you tweak the size according to your preference.

YARN

Recommended yarn: 
This sweater is designed for either a sport or worsted weight wool/wool blend. I used Magpie Fibers Marled Nest Sport (350 yds/100 g) and Magpie Fibers Nest (210 yds/100 g), a non-superwash 100% domestic Corriedale wool. These yarns have a light, bouncy hand with great memory and stitch definition.
