Keinu sweater is a V-neck pullover with a relaxed fit. It is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is cast on first, and then stitches are picked up for the shoulders, forming both fronts. The V-neck is shaped with increases, and finally, the work is joined at the underarms and knitted in the round to the hem. The sleeves have some positive ease and in the pictures are full length, but they would also work nicely as 3/4 length.

This sweater is the kind you’ll reach for often — light, airy, and versatile for many occasions. Style it with a skirt for a touch of glam or with jeans for an always stylish look.
