Reversible sweater with wide raglan seams in half brioche
Level ●●●●○ (4 of 5)
How to work the knitwear: The Iki sweater is a classic you can wear either way round. Adorned with wide raglan seams, the sweater is in half brioche stitch, long-stitched brioche forming on one side and ribbing on the other. Bind off neatly and swap skeins in unnoticeable spots to create a reversible knit. By opting for high-quality yarn and your favourite colour you’ll have yourself a forever sweater.
The sweater is worked seamlessly top down. First you cast on neckline sts and work the back of the neck with short rows. Then the yoke is worked with raglan increases. Sleeve sts are left on hold while working the body, and after finishing it, the sleeves are worked.
Finally, you can turn the sweater inside out if you prefer.
