Takenoko means baboo shot or “little bamboo” and what a perfect name for this sweater. We have made organic stripes that resembles the bamboo stem. And, of course, it is made from our bamboo yarn, super for spring and summer!


Worked top down, in the round with raglan increases. Body and sleeves are separated and worked until wanted length. The stripes are made on selected rounds by doing YO’s that are released on the next round to make elongated stitches.
