The Traveler in Awa Option 3 Kit

This popular design by Andrea Mowry has been teamed up with Amano's Awa for this kit. We needed a beach version here in Savannah. This is our answer to that.

This hoodie is knit from the bottom up, seamlessly, except for the underarms. The body is then worked in the round until it is divided for the yoke.

The remainder is worked flat, and the shoulders are finished with an exposed seam using the 3 needle bind off. The hood and sleeves are picked up from the body of the sweater.
