The Seward sweater is a top down raglan worked in the round. Starting with a rolled hem and broken rib collar, the broken rib texture extends down the raglan sections and onto the sides of the body for a seamless detail. The broken rib detail is repeated at the bottom of the sweater as well as on the cuffs, tying intentional details into a polished piece. This sweater is perfect for everyday wear, especially for the frequent rainy days in the city of Seward Alaska her namesake.
