The Ramana sweater is knitted top-down seamlessly in stockinette stitch, featuring saddle shoulder and funnel neck details. The fit is on the more relaxed side, and the pattern provides regular and tall options for the sleeves. The sweater features German short rows on the front and back to achieve the best fit around the neckline and the shoulders. In addition, German short rows are used to create the sleeve caps.
