Samite kits

Introducing Samite, a gorgeous top down raglan pullover featuring a stunning combination of intricate cables, lace, and texture.

You start by shaping the neckline while working flat, then casting on stitches for the centre front and switching to working in the round whilst working raglan increases until underarms where sleeves and body are separate and stitches are casted on for the underarms. The body is worked straight down for a boxy fit in cables, lace and texture until the ribbing where you continue the lace and texture motif on each side and replace the cables with 1x1 half twisted ribbing. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette, twisted ribbing and the same lace in texture motif as the body. The neckband is picked up at the end and worked in 1x1 half twisted ribbing and folded over at the end for a sleek finish
