Sutra is a seamless pullover knitted from top down, all in one piece.
It is worked in Reverse Stockinette stitch with Garter hems and I-cord details on the edges. Raglan increases as well as body shaping are worked on the sides of Stockinette Stitch faux seams.
The pullover was created to emphasize the beauty of hand-dyed yarn, but it can be made with solid or variegated yarns as well.
