Novemberknits - Joo Sweater - Paper

Joo Sweater is a roomy sweater inspired by the hanbok, Korea's national costume. It is knitted top down with raglan increases, and the neck is knitted in reverse rows to create the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch while increasing evenly, which gives the wide fit. The sleeves and body are finished with a folded edge and stockinette stitch that is folded in and sewn or knitted to the end.
