Nabi is a soft and warm slipover knitted in a light and airy alpaca yarn that keeps the chest and shoulders warm. The slipover is worked top down. The neckline is worked first, followed by the front pieces, which are worked one at a time. Then the back is worked until it is joined with the front pieces under the arm holes to create the criss-cross effect that leaves the slipover open at the front.
