Okapi sweater is a quick knit sweater in Vams. This sweater is inspired by African shapes and patterns. I think Okapi was a fitting name. The sweater is knitted from the bottom up, but if you want to knit from the top down, you can do that. Yarn packages can be found HERE
The recipe for the adult version can be found in my book Wilderness Sweaters 3.
