Flitting from funnel neck to circular yoke, clustered columns of ribbing rhythmically weave and cross to hug your shoulders before continuing down the trim raglan sleeves. Skeppa’s seamless top-down construction and straight unisex fit will keep your needles buzzing from cast-on to bind-off. Knit Skeppa in a sunny shade of woolen-spun Tones for a light and lofty layer, or choose worsted-spun Imbue Worsted’s honey-rich hues for an extra-lush feel.

Construction

  • The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. The top portion of the yoke is worked in a clustered rib pattern, with circular yoke increases. For the remainder of the yoke, the clustered rib pattern is continued along the top of the sleeves and the rest of the stitches are worked in stockinette stitch, with raglan increases. The body is worked circularly to the hem, then the sleeves are worked circularly to the cuffs.
