Joo Summer Sweater

This pattern is in English

Joo Summer Sweater is an oversized, ¾ sleeve summer sweater inspired by hanbok, Korean traditional clothing. It is knitted from the top down with raglan increases, and short rows are worked in the neck to shape the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch while evenly spaced increases are worked, which gives them their wide shape. The sleeves and body are finished with a folding edge and stockinette stitch, which is folded inwards and sewed in place at the end. See recommended help videos at www.novemberknits.com.
