About the design…
The Day & Night sweater is a classic raglan sweater, but with a boat neck. It is worked top-down in a twisted rib pattern. You work in the round from top to bottom, except a few rows in the neckband.
Italian techniques are used - i.e. that you start with Italian cast on, followed by a few rounds of double-knitting, and vice versa when you bind off.
The sweater is seamless and very easy to knit.
In the Day & Night series there’s a female version with loose body and tight sleeves, and a kids version with zipper
