Navran is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a double folded ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features stranded, textured colourwork that has been designed in the Bohus stickning tradition. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the hem and wrist cuffs are finished off with ribbing. Navran is slightly cropped at the waist.
