The Ruke Iris sweater is a designer’s wardrobe knit that pairs perfectly with elegant everyday wear. The sweater features a beautiful stitch pattern with interwoven ribs, making the knitting process fun and engaging. This sweater is knitted from top to bottom, with the yoke’s first section worked in rounds and the second section worked flat. The body and sleeves are worked in the round, ensuring a seamless and comfortable fit. The hem is worked flat, which means the front and back are knitted separately, resulting in a longer back hem than the front. This creates beautiful side slits in the sweater. The silhouette of the Ruke Iris sweater is tapered, adding a feminine and sexy touch. Designed to be as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear.
