Silva Sweater

ENGLISH

Silva Sweater is worked from the top down with a raglan construction. You begin by working a ribbed turtleneck, after which you continue in stockinette across the yoke while shaping the raglans. The raglan panels are worked in rib and these rib panels continue down each side of the body. The body is worked in stockinette and finished with a wide rib hem. Finally, the sleeves are worked with decreases placed evenly along the length of the sleeve and are also finished with a wide rib cuff. Bind off using a regular bind-off or an Italian bind-off for an elastic edge. The sweater is seamless.
