Sammas by Zatar Knits | The Sammas sweater is worked top down in the round with snug sitting raglan increases and a short turtle neck. Starting off with the double folded turtle neck, short rows are then used to raise the back, while working the first raglan increases. The sleeves and body are worked separately with slits placed on both sides to achieve a looser fit around the hip. The entire sweater is worked in a easy to remember twisted 1x1 ribbing based pattern, however it can be changed to a normal 1x1 ribbing. The sleeves are just ending above wrists and are worked in a slightly adapted pattern from the body.\
