Lethed – "lightness" in Danish – plays with forms: garter stitch stripes, gently folded cuffs, an elongated higher neck.
Lethed is worked from the top down in one piece. The high collar is knit first, in twisted rib, with a garter stitch panel at the side that travels down the entire length of the sleeves. Raglan increases shape the upper body which is worked in stockinette as is the lower body. The sleeve ends in a gentle fold, leading into a twisted rib cuff.
