Marjatta is my take on a classic sailor sweater. The sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. It starts with a folded mock turtleneck and continues with short row shaping and raglan sleeves. The sweater has a relaxed fit and ¾ long sleeves. Them hem is split with the back and front hem worked separately. Both the hems and the cuffs have neat facings that are bound off sewing them onto the WS.
