The Rava pattern is the perfect blend of comfort and contemporary style. With its wide batwing sleeves and subtle retro-inspired shape, Rava brings an effortless elegance to any wardrobe. The simple sweater version is a great challenge for beginners to learn how to match seams, while more experienced sewists will enjoy the advanced techniques involved in the jacket version. With this pattern, you’ll have something to sew for every season.
Rava has a loose, oversized fit. The sleeves narrow toward the wrists and are finished with an elastic tunnel. It also sits a bit narrower at the hem due to the elastic tunnel. The sleeveless version has a boxy cut with oversized armholes.
