Joo Sweater (English)

This pattern is in English.

Joo Sweater is an oversized sweater inspired by hanbok, Korean traditional clothing. It is knitted top down with raglan increases and short rows are worked in the neck to create the shape of the neckline. The sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch while evenly spaced increases are worked, which gives them a wide shape. The sleeves and body are finished with a folding edge and stockinette stitch, which is folded inwards and sewn in place at the end.
