Felice is a cozy oversized sweater with a dropped shoulder, ribbed finishing and longer back for a relaxed silhouette.

It is worked top down in stockinette stitch by working back and front separately first, then joining to work in the round and finally picking up the stitches for the the sleeves from the body. The folded neck is worked by picking up the stitches from the neckline.

The model on the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 2.
