Whaani

Whaani means Fox in Apache Language. The Apache is a group of culturally Native American Tribes in the Southwestern United States . A distant more know cousin tribe are the Navajo. I have been always fascinated by the Visual Arts of the native American Tribes. This sweater was inspired by the traditional weaving traditions of Native America.

Whaani Sweater - Icelandic Style Sweater . The sweater is knit bottom-up. Start by knitting the body and both sleeves up to the yoke. The underarm stitches of the body and the sleeves are transferred to pieces of scrap yarn or stitch holders and the remaining stitches of the body and the sleeves are combined on a circular knitting needle to form the yoke which is shaped by simple decreases until the neckline stitches are cast off. The underarm stitches on the body and the sleeves are grafted together by the Kitchener stitch.
