Miekki

This purchase is for the DIGITAL PATTERN only, not a physical item.

Miekki combines traditional geometrical shapes with contemporary design, knit up in a combination of circular yoke construction and raglan increases, in a super soft yarn that is perfect for cold, wintry nights.

Miekki is a seamless top-down yoke cardigan which is knit flat. It features stranded colorwork around the yoke, which starts with a pale, neutral contrast color, features two other striking hues, and inverts into a vivid main color. Once the colourwork is complete, the remaining yoke is shaped further with raglan increases. There are short rows at the neckline for a comfortable fit, and optional waist shaping to add feminine shape. The hem and cuffs are finished off with ribbing.

The front of the cardigan has buttonbands that are worked in ribbing and use 5 buttons.
