Ruke Zuzu sweater
The Zuzu sweater is an oversized knit with wide raglan sleeves and an open O-neckline (loose enough for comfort but not overly wide), making it perfect for slightly cooler weather. The sweater is worked from the top down using M1R and M1L increases. It features five color blocks separated by thin stripes, creating an eye-catching yet subtle look. The hem has small slits on both sides. Thanks to its balanced design, the sweater allows a light breeze to pass through while still keeping you warm. It’s a great project for using up your yarn stash and mixing colors creatively. So grab your needles and start knitting your Zuzu sweater!
