Timeless V-neck sweater with subtle detailing.
A classic V-neck sweater whose understated elegance makes it easy to wear, while still looking incredibly unique thanks to its minimal and fine construction elements. It has dropped shoulders and an oversized fit. The sweater is worked from top to bottom. The shoulders are created using short rows to provide a more comfortable fit. First, the back is worked flat, with some increases to shape the armhole. The front is then worked with increases to form the V-neck.
Finally, the front and back are joined at the underarm, and the body is worked in the round with some decreases at the hem.
The model in the picture is 169 cm / 5 ́7” tall and wears a Size 2.
