The Solaris sweater is a unisex sweater inspired by the sun, sunshine over still lake water and sunsets. Solaris originates from Latin and means sunny in English. The sweater is knitted on a circular needle, round and round, with the arms sewn in afterwards. This makes the sweater suitable for both men and women. The neckline is short/boat neck knitted in stockinet stitch. Solaris is knitted with rib on cuffs and hem. Measure your chest and arms to find the right size for you. Video and tips for finishing and sewing of arms can be found on Faunaknit.com
