CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW
Gell is a textured raglan tunic knit in pieces from the bottom up with a vented hem, deep turn-back cuffs and a generous turtleneck collar. The pattern features a compound raglan construction for an improved fit. The body and sleeves are worked flat and seamed using mattress stitch. The collar is picked up after assembly and worked in the round. Optional instructions are given for a tubular cast on and bind off to add a refined edge to your piece.
