Twiggy

We love the look of the 60s and wanted a rib sweater with an updated feel to it. The result is this classic sweater with semi high turtleneck and interesting raglan increase.

Construction
Knitted top-down in rib pattern. You work short rows in the back to create a more rounded neck. The increase rounds adds 16 sts each. After the yoke is complete you separate into body and sleeves.
The sweater can be made wither with or without Pickles Silk Mohair (the sweater on the pictures is made with both Tweedy and Silk Mohair).
