Ryokō
旅行 | Ryokō : Japanese (Romaji) for (n) travel.
Superbly detailed sweater with stylish back waist overlapping detail and your choice of either the on-trend colorblocked mega cowl (Model A) or the ever-stylish scoop neck (Model B). Knit with the fabulously versatile and decadently soft Shibui Knits Pebble, you will be sure to find a reason to wear this every day.
Construction Notes
Lower body is provisionally cast on and knit back and forth from the hem to the waist with side shaping for fit and short row shaping to back detail. A vent is formed at the back waist and body is then worked in the round to the underarm. Front and back then worked flat separately. Shoulders are grafted together. Full length sleeves worked in the round to the cap and set in to body with seams. I-Cord Bind Off to Cuffs and Hem.
Model A includes an oversized cowl neck worked after grafting.
Model B details I-Cord Bind Off to neckband.
Work with two strands of yarn held together throughout.
