Nikita is a raglan top in a graphic garter stitch mosaic pattern.

The yarn used for the top is made of cotton and linen.

Construction:
Back, front an sleeves are worked separately bottom up until armhole. Then all the pieces are gathered on circular needle and the raglan yoke is worked in rows. Stitches for neck are knitted up to finish the neck line. At last you sew side, sleeves and left sleeve/back seams together.
Because of this construction you don’t have to purl a single stitch!
