TUUL

Tuul is inspired by the many flowing vikkel twisted stitch patterns used on knits from Kihnu, which sweep across socks and gloves like the wind (‘tuul’). Here the twisted stitches blow across the sides and around the raglan lines of this sweater.

This v-neck raglan sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. Twisted stitch vikkel details are worked along the raglan line on the sleeves and then carried down the sides of the body.
