The Ruke Seed sweater is a cropped design with a classic crew neck and long tapered sleeves. It’s knit from the top down in the Seed stitch pattern, using M1R and M1L raglan increases. The neck, cuffs, and hem are finished in Rib stitch for a clean look. The body is worked straight, making it easy to adjust the length if desired - just be sure to plan for extra yarn. With 40-50cm (16-20in) of positive ease, this oversized sweater feels cozy and looks naturally stylish.
