Bawi is an oversized sweater in lovely thick Aran tweed yarn, making it the perfect transitional sweater. Use it as a jacket over other knitwear or as a perfect statement piece in your wardrobe.
C O N S T R U C T I O N
The sweater is worked top-down, with increases along the shoulder, and the front and back pieces are worked along the sleeve hole one at a time. The body of the sweater features purl stitches. To minimize the amount of purling, work direction is turned by incorporating the German Short Row, so the sweater is worked inside out (worked from the knit side). The unique design of this sweater also makes it possible to wear it reversible if you plan carefully to hide all yarn joints and where the stitches are picked up for sleeves.
