Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter
Runa, derived from a Japanese name meaning "moon", is a simple structure featuring kimono lace running along the neck and shoulder-line of this sweater.
This sweater showcases a drop shoulder style with positive ease in the body and slim-fit sleeves.
Notice that the description of the original pattern mentions "slim-fit sleeves". We've been seeing this as a current trend in new knitting patterns. Be sure to review the upper arm measurement for your project.
