We love the look of the 60s and wanted a rib sweater with an updated feel to it. The result is this classic sweater with semi-high turtleneck and interesting raglan increase.


Knitted top-down in rib pattern. You knit short rows in the back to create a more rounded neck. The increase rounds adds 16 stitches each. After the yoke is complete you separate into body and sleeves. The whole sweater is made with one strand in each quality held together.
