This stunning sweater uses the roosimine technique to evoke the feeling of a windmill.

This raglan sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. It is worked flat in the beginning before joining in the round to raise the back neck. A large roosimine motif is worked on the front of the body, centred on the chest. Smaller roosimine motifs are worked just above each cuff.
