Runa Sweater

The Runa Sweater is a unisex raglan sweater worked top down in stockinette stitch, creating a seamless construction. The sweater is first worked back and forth to shape a raised back neck and a smooth neckline. The work is then joined in the round and continued with raglan increases. An i-cord edge is worked at the neckline before stitches are picked up for the neckband. The sleeves and neckband are finished with wide 2x2 ribbed edges worked in double rib.

The Runa Sweater is knitted in a sturdy tweed yarn that becomes softer and more beautiful with wear. The overall look is slightly rustic, while the construction remains clean, modern, and versatile.
