This Bundle DOES NOT include a digital pattern. You can find this pattern by clicking HERE 😊
Bundle includes:
- 2 skeins of You Soxy Thing (MC) + 2 Soxy Six Mini skein bundles (CC), enough yarn to make the Rumble Raglan Tee in sizes 1-7
Worked from the top down in the round, this vertical-striped, colourwork raglan top has a retro-feel and a vintage fit. There are options for two different neck finishings and two waist shaping options to fit your body shape. To achieve recommended fit, the top is worn with significant negative ease. Don’t worry, it has plenty of stretch!
Special thanks to Jen Parroccini (grading, consultancy, TE), Gwen Wagner-Adair (Technical and grammatical editing), and David Morrow (graphic design, photography) for their amazing work on the team for this pattern!
SIZING:
Sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7) are designed to fit chest/upper bust measurement of 31 (34.25, 37.5, 40.75, 44) (47.25, 50.5) in.
It is recommended that you choose a size based on your chest/upper bust measurement.* If you are between sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger one.
The garment will comfortably fit chest/full bust measurements of 31 (35, 39, 43, 47) (51, 55) in
YARDAGE:
Yardage is shown in the product photos.
GAUGE:
28 sts and 28 rounds per 4in using 3.75mm needle in 2x2 Colour pattern
STRETCH:
Further to your gauge, stretch percentage is important for this project, it should have around 170% stretch. Sometimes you may be able to get gauge with your swatch, but it won’t have very much stretch in it. To see if your swatch has enough stretch, mark 4in on your swatch, hold it up to a ruler, and see if that area can stretch tightly to around 6.7in. If it is able to stretch significantly more than that, you may wish to size down needles and see if you can still get gauge. If it stretches to less than 6in you may wish to try sizing up needles and seeing if you can still get gauge. Superwash yarn in a negative ease pattern will stretch out with wear so the amount of stretch in the fabric you make will effect the final fit.
NEEDLES:
- Main Needle - 3.75mm / US 5 or size needed to obtain gauge in your preferred lengths for large and small circumferences (I used 16in length all the way through, but 24in would be more usual)

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
