Akka is a top-down raglan cardigan with a simple geometric design. Just after the neckline, short rows are made in order to make a good fit. The garment is knitted in the round using stranded colourwork on the body as well as on part of the sleeves.
In order to make the cardigan’s colour work easy to knit in the round, steeking technique is used in this design. The steek is cut open after adding the button band.
