The Sora Sweater takes its name from the Japanese word for “sky” and plays with a dreamy expression. The straight yet softly undulating details resemble clouds drifting across the sky, giving the sweater a light and elegant look.
Sizes: 3XS (2XS) XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
Process:
Sora Sweater is knit from the top down. First, the back piece is worked, followed by the shoulders with increases that shape the front piece. The back and front are joined under the armholes, after which the body is knitted. Finally, the sleeves and neckline are worked, and all ends are woven in.
