• Product description

  Cuddle down in a roomy Shelter tunic with an unusual neckline. The front and back, which are knit flat, feature a central panel of chevrons formed with simple left and right twists and a touch of garter stitch. The patterned sections form a self-finished neck edge and extend from the front to form the collar. The flanking motif of slipped stitches and tiny cables is echoed on the bracelet-length sleeves. For a hint of unexpected asymmetry, the chevrons change direction at the left side of the neck.

  Larus is intended for 6-8” of cozy ease, and you may find you’re in no hurry to take it off, so choose a color you want to live in.

  • The back and front are worked flat from the bottom up. The front neck edges have a self-finished edge, and each side of the collar is worked as an extension of the front. The collar stitches are then joined using Joinery Bind Off, and the edge is sewn to the back neck. The sleeves are picked up from the edges of the upper body and worked from the top down.
