Riika Shirt Knitting Pattern [PDF]

The Riika Shirt is a timeless basic in a 2×2 rib pattern with a clean silhouette and a fit that has proven itself. The sleeves are cut slim, while the body has comfortable ease: Riika sits close to the body without feeling tight. The rib pattern gives the shirt a calm yet lively look – an easy-to-wear piece that combines well and will stay in your wardrobe for a long time. It is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases in rib. The raglan lines are shaped with left-leaning and right-leaning increases. After the yoke, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and the body is worked in the round. The sleeves are then picked up again and also worked in the round. Riika is unisex and can be knitted as a longsleeve, with three-quarter sleeves, or with short sleeves. Thanks to the top-down construction, all lengths can easily be adjusted to your own measurements. Riika is part of the Riika Collection – a series of clear, easy-to-wear basics with a quiet design language and thoughtful details.
