The Ranunculus Sweater is so very cozy knit up in our Downy Fingering yarn. And the touch of elastane holds the sweater's shape at a more open gauge—a bit of fiber magic. This is a pattern many of us have knit more than once, and in a variety of yarns. A viral knitting pattern for a reason!
You'll want to pick a size with plenty of positive ease and the pattern has a lot of information on this sizing. We're showing our latest version here, a size 2, on Ashley with about 15" of positive ease. We also chose to work the smaller neckline and long sleeves with the diagonal cuff option. Have fun with your own pattern choices!
You'll need to purchase a copy of the pattern from the designer, Midori Hirose, available on Ravelry.

Fiber Content
Downy is over-the-top — as in soft layered upon soft. It’s a thoughtful blend with each fiber adding something to the whole: alpaca (50%) brings substance and warmth, cashmere (34%) offers a velvety hand, and elastane (16%) holds everything together with lightweight elasticity. It just might be our cuddliest base yet! A word about that dash of elastane — it’s just enough to help the finished item keep its shape, making Downy truly perfect for any garment or accessory!
50% Alpaca, 34% Cashmere, 16% Elastane 390 yards per 100 grams
Hand wash suggested. Lay flat to dry.
