Braxas is a tailored Ziggurat pullover with a mock turtleneck and ‘set-in’ sleeves.

There is some (optional) waist shaping yet the fit is relaxed.

  • Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • no seaming
  • very few ends to weave in
  • special hem/cuff/collar bind off: a fun optional detail for the advanced or adventuresome knitter

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
