I see stripes in the horizon.

Vaaka is a loose and relaxed stripy cardigan that is worked flat, top-down and, of course, seamlessly. The cardigan has a round yoke and fun stripes in two different yarn weights. The cardigan has positive ease and a cropped hem. The back of the neck is shaped taller with short rows. The button bands are picked up and worked last.
