From Rowan Magazine #42

This is ‘Iceland’ from Rowan Magazine #42.  It is knit in Rowan Cocoon, I used shade 804 - Shale.  I knit the large size and it took 10 balls of yarn.  It is knit on 7mm needles.

I love this jumper but haven’t had a chance to wear it yet as I finished it just as winter was finishing and it’s way to warm to wear unless it’s pretty cold.

This is another good project for those of you who don’t like to sew seams.  It is knit in one piece from sleeve to sleeve, picking up stitched for the ribbed waist at the end.  The only seams are under the arms, the sides fasten with 3 buttons either side.

Although the pattern may look a little complicated, it isn’t.  I found it really easy to memorise and could follow where I was without the pattern after a few repeats.  It is simple cables and yarn overs, nothing scary!

All Rowan yarn and books are on sale in the shop, so now is a perfect time for this project but you have to hurry as once the stock is gone, it’s gone!  Cocoon is £5.44 per ball, reduced from £7.25 and you can buy the magazine for £8.21, reduced from £10.95.  Please bear in mind that we will not be replacing this stock once it’s cleared so make sure you buy enough yarn for your project.
