Rock Creek Sweater Kit - Rios
MalabrigoRock Creek, by Caitlin Hunter, is a classic raglan pullover knit in worsted weight yarn. It has a dropped hem, textured front, and a wide, flattering neckline. This sweater is perfect for layering or to wear with a simple camisole.
Rock Creek is designed to be worn with positive ease, so you should choose a size that is 1-4" larger than your actual bust measurement.
We have paired Rock Creek with Malabrigo Rios, a wonderful 100% superwash merino worsted weight yarn.
GAUGE: Note - be sure to measure gauge after stretching and blocking your swatch. Malabrigo Rios "grows" quite a lot after blocking, so this is essential to ensure a proper fit.
- 17 stitches and 28 rows to 4" on US size 8 needles in stockinette after blocking
