This long­sleeve sweater is worked in the softest of kid mohair silk blends. The sweater has an oversize fit with a dropped shoulder, colourblock stripes and a fine ribbing turtleneck.
It is knit seamlessly top down and shaped by working invisible increases in the yoke. It also includes short rows for back shaping. After reaching the right number of stitches, the sleeves are put on hold and worked at the end top down.

This particular shape sits beautifully on the shoulders, and the boxy fit is perfect for wearing over a dress or long skirt.

Comes in ten sizes. Model is wearing size 2.

Level: Beginner (1/3)
