The Willa Sweater is worked top-down with raglan increases and stripes. Stitches are cast on for the neckline, then the piece is divided using stitch markers. Increases are worked for the sleeves, front, and back. The piece is then divided into three sections, and the sleeves and body are finished separately. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neckline, and a rolled edge is worked in stockinette stitch.

The red and white sweater (size medium ) is worked in Drops Air and Sandnes Sisu.
