Joo Sweater Light is a light and airy sweater inspired by hanbok, Korean traditional clothing. It is worked top down with raglan increases, and short rows are worked at the back of the neck to shape the neckline. The stitch pattern from the neckband is continued throughout the raglan stitches, before working the body and sleeves in stockinette stitch.
