Description
KOMAKAI is a V neck sweater with a little collar worked top down. The body is worked in double moss stitch and the sleeves in stockinette. Komakai is knitted with two strands; one strand merino wool and one strand mohair. At the beginning of the yoke, the neckline is knitted with italian cast on and double knitted in ribbing and then shoulder increases in raglan sts. The V neck is created with increases in the yoke. The yoke is gathered by knitting double moss sts in the round. The body is finished with ribbing and a stretchy bind off. Sleeves are knitted by moving sleeve stitches on to main needle and picking up and knitting underarm stitches when you come to them. Sleeves are knitted in the round in stockinette and finished with a short double knitted ribbing and a stretchy bind off. This sweater is therefore assembly-free.
