Hawkins Arcade Sweater
Description
Inspired by the 80’s horror aesthetic, this raglan pullover rocks vintage vibes with colorful racing stripes and a contrasting hem, collar, and cuffs. Worked in the round from the top down, this sweater uses short rows and increases along the raglan seams for neck and shoulder shaping, and features a folded collar with a stretchy bind-off, ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed hem with Italian bind-off for a clean finish.
