Suzukaze” is a lovely pullover by Ririko Hand Knit Life with a honeycomb lace stitch on the body and sleeves.
It is worked from the top down seamlessly. The front, back and sleeves are worked back and forth in a raglan construction, until they are joined at the center of the front.
The sleeves are set aside at the underarm, and the body is worked straight in one piece to the hem. The sleeves are worked down in the round to elbow length. Finally, the neck edge is neatly finished with I-cord.
We searched for a patter to knit a lightweight summer garment with Aestiva, and this is just perfect. The simple lace stitch exalts the variegated thread hand dyed in Spiga color .
