BABA Sweater by Ankestrick
- Description
The BABA Sweater by Ankestrick gets its playful name from its simple yet effective stripe pattern - alternating rounds in colour A and B. Designed for both visual impact and wearable comfort, it features a stand-up collar that holds its shape beautifully, even after being worn rolled down.
The pattern includes options for an A-line shaped body and short sleeves, offering flexibility to suit your style and season.
It's knit seamlessly from the top down in a rhythmic 2x2 stripe pattern (two rounds per colour). You’ll begin at the collar, then shape the yoke with raglan increases. Once the sleeves are set aside, the body is worked straight down to the hem. Finally, the sleeves are picked up and finished in the round, ensuring a smooth and satisfying knit from start to finish.
