Leicester is a refined, textured gender-neutral raglan pullover knit in Valley Yarns Amherst. The body and sleeves of the sweater are worked in the round from the bottom up and then joined at the yoke. Seed stitch stripes add texture to the body, while the raglan shoulders feature garter ribbed moto-jacket styling. The neckband stitches are picked up along the neckline and knit in the round.
