SKEPPA


by Vibe Ulrik Søndergaard

“My inspiration for this design was taken in the ribbed pattern. I was caught in the challenge of working out how to increase it in the round without disturbing the flow – I had fun trying.” 

– Vibe Ulrik Søndergaard

Product description

Flitting from funnel neck to circular yoke, clustered columns of ribbing rhythmically weave and cross to hug your shoulders before continuing down the trim raglan sleeves. Skeppa’s seamless top-down construction and straight unisex fit will keep your needles buzzing from cast-on to bind-off. Knit Skeppa in a sunny shade of woolen-spun Tones for a light and lofty layer, or choose worsted-spun Imbue’s honey-rich hues for an extra-lush feel.
