Granit is a raglan sweater knitted in Icelandic wool and alpaca. The design features a straight, boxy silhouette with a slightly higher neckline and straight sleeves and body. The sweater is worked from the top down using larger needles and held double throughout, creating a defined texture in the fabric. The raglan increases form a pronounced transition between the sleeves and body, creating a distinctive detail in an otherwise minimalist design.
