The name of the sweater – VIIKKO – is the Finnish
word for ‘a week’. That means that the sweater is possible to knit in a week easily!

The sweater is worked seamlessly top down using a raglan construction which means that there are diagonal lines separating sleeves from the upper body. The design has a round neckline and extra-long sleeves. Once the neckline increases are done, the rest of the sweater is worked in the round.
