Radia Perlman helped build the protocols that keep the internet running, earning her the nickname the Mother of the Internet. Foundational. We figured she deserved a sweater named after her.

Radia Perlman helped build the protocols that keep the internet running, earning her the nickname the Mother of the Internet. Foundational. We figured she deserved a sweater named after her. Oversized and raglan, with a crew neck and balloon sleeves, knitted in a sky blue marl of Rauma Alpakka Lin held together with Finull.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases. You begin by casting on stitches for the yoke and working back and forth with increases to shape the neckline opening. The shoulders are joined by the front neck, and the yoke is knitted in the round with raglan increases. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is worked in the round. The neckline ribbing is worked by picking up stitches along the neckline opening. Finally, the sleeves are worked from the held stitches.
