Knitting pattern for Ruke Scarlet sweater

The Ruke Scarlet sweater is a modern wool piece designed to stand out in the capsule wardrobe. It is worked from the top down, so you can easily adjust the length as you knit, and the construction flows naturally from collar to hem.

The sweater’s striped texture is created by alternating sections: one stripe worked with mohair held together with the wool yarn, and the next stripe worked without mohair. This simple change in yarn combination forms a soft, wavy rhythm across the fabric, giving the design its elegant and feminine character.

The collar is knitted in a twisted rib stitch pattern, which keeps the neckline neat, structured, and beautifully framed. The hem features small side slits, giving the silhouette extra movement and a relaxed, effortless look, while maintaining a refined feel.

The body has an oversized fit - intentionally roomy, cozy, and extremely wearable. One of the key details of the design is the sleeves: they are deliberately longer than usual. The idea was clear from the beginning - when you put on a coat, the sleeves should peek out slightly, giving that stylish, sensual, and bold Ruke touch.

Elegant, feminine, sexy, and powerful at the same time - a piece you reach for not just because it is warm, but because it feels like a statement every time you wear it.
