The Madeira Sweater in Rauma Finull and DROPS Kid-Silk is a raglan sweater knitted with two strands held together. It is worked from the bottom up. The pattern is available in 7 sizes, and the sample shown is size M.

Inspired by the island of Madeira, the colours evoke the beautiful hydrangeas that grow throughout the island. The distinctive floral motifs and decorative borders create an elegant and timeless sweater. The combination of Rauma Finull and DROPS Kid-Silk produces a lightweight, warm and luxurious fabric. The pattern is suitable for knitters with some experience of raglan construction and colourwork.
