The Rava pattern is the perfect blend of comfort and contemporary style.
With its wide batwing sleeves and subtle retro-inspired silhouette, Rava brings elegant ease to any wardrobe.
Rava can be made into a sweater or a jacket. Here are some of her main features:
You can make her with as a long sleeve or a sleeveless version
There are a lot of collar options! You can make her with a neck trim, a bomber collar, a high collar or with facing.
You can choose for signature pockets or leave it simple without pockets
Easy to Intermediate (depending on the chosen variant). Rava as a sweater is an excellent project for beginners. With no closures required, the construction stays straightforward. As a jacket with zipper she is also very suitable for a bit more advanced sewists!
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.
Fabric Choice
Suitable for a wide variety of fabrics – most materials work beautifully for the jacket versions
For thicker fabrics, make zipper placket and facing parts in a lighter fabric for easier sewing
For zipperless sweaters, ensure the collar fabric is stretchy enough for the neckline opening
Great results with knit fabrics such as jersey, jogging, French terry, or punta
Light nylon for a cool retro look, or wool for a chic, collarless jacket
