Top-Down Knitwear: Create a Raglan Sleeve Sweater

Simone Ryan is a Swiss knitwear designer and blogger. Under the brand name Rust Knitwear, she creates sweaters, cardigans, and accessories, and shares the patterns for her simple yet original designs through engaging tutorials. Her aim is to reach as many knitting enthusiasts as possible and give them the resources and the knowledge to make their own garments with high-quality, natural materials.

It wasn't long after she started wearing her own designs that she discovered the online knitting community and created her own blog on Instagram. Thanks to this platform, she was able to make new contacts and establish collaborations with both generic and specialized knitting brands, like LANGYARNS and Are Knitters.
