Keraa is a top down seamless compound raglan pullover with colourwork inspired by Persian ceramics, it has short rows to raise the back, tapered sleeves with a little bit of colourwork before the half twisted rib cuffs, and a straight body ending with half twisted rib hem, knitted in woollen spun yarn with a loose gauge making it very light and airy whilst being warm

The name Keraa came from the word “keramiek” which means ceramics in Afrikaans
