• Product description

  Elegant cable panels twine up the body and sleeves on a ground of moss stitch for a knit that will keep your fingers pleasantly busy. Both masculine and feminine versions of the Vika turtleneck sport a boxy fit and an exaggerated drop shoulder shaped with increases to bisect the upper arm in a flattering way. The sleeves fall to knuckle length for a cozy, casual look.

  Pattern includes unisex sizing.

  Want to knit one for the whole family? This pattern is a re-imagining of the Vika children’s sweater from the BT Kids Collection.

  Designer: Véronik Avery

  Collection: Fall 2016
