Eye-catching details and architecture-like construction are what set the Gujo sweater apart. Constructed with a bold and upright neck, dropped shoulder, and Aegyoknit’s signature half-fisherman’s rib, this piece achieves a modern-minimalistic yet feminine style. The decreases on the body and sleeves provide the perfect fit for an oversized sweater. The tailored design is juxtaposed by the soft combination of airy merino yarn and silk mohair.

Gujo is worked top down. Begin at the neck by CO with Tubular CO, work the neck in the round in half-fisherman’s rib. Then it is divided into front and back to work pieces separately. Join the pieces again after the pieces are worked for the desired length of armholes to be worked in the round again for the rest of the body. Sleeves are worked by pick up sts along the armhole and worked in the round on a smaller circular needle or using the magic loop.
