Keya is a raglan pullover in worsted weight yarn, with a seamless top down construction. It starts with casting on stitches for the back, and the beginning of the sweater is worked flat to shape the shoulders. Then stitches are cast on for the front neck and joined in the round for the rest of the sweater. The sleeve stitches are put on hold and then picked up and finished after the sleeves and the body are separated. The body is worked in the round and features colorwork with a beautiful fade. Neck stitches are picked up in the end to knit a ribbed neckband.
