Sesu is a lightweight garment knitted with soft and fuzzy Suri Alpaca yarn held double top down. First you knit the front and back flat increasing at the shoulders on both right and wrong side to final shoulder width. After the armhole length is reached, the body is then worked top down in rounds. Optional short rows create a gentle curving back hem. Stitches are picked up around the neck and armholes and finished with ribbing. You can easily adjust the armhole depth and the over all body length but this might alter the amount yarn required.
