LUNA (EN)

Description

DESCRIPTION
LUNA is a raglan sweater knitted from top to bottom, in-the-round, seamlessly, and comes in two versions: a T-shirt and a 3/4 sleeve sweater.
The yoke and the top of the sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch, while the body and long sleeves are worked in openwork ribs. The long sleeves and the body of the sweater are finished with semi-twisted ribs. The construction follows that of a classic raglan: you start by knitting flat to create the depth of the neckline, then you work in-the-round for the entire body and sleeves. The collar is knitted from picked-up sts.
Luna is a basic, versatile, and feminine sweater that pairs well with all outfits and adapts to almost all seasons.
