Strom is a cardigan that was designed by Rachel Hunter for the Shetland Wool Week Annual 2020. It is knitted in the round then 'Steeked'. What Is a Steek?
Here’s an excellent explanation from Wikipedia:
In knitting, steeking is a shortcut used to knit garments such as sweaters in the round without interruption for openings or sleeves until the end. After completing a tube, a straight line is cut along the center of a column of stitches, in order to make room for an opening or place to attach another piece. The steek itself is a bridge of extra stitches, in which the cut is made, and is usually 6-10 stitches wide.
