About the pattern
The loose-fitting sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down using a material mix of Merry Merino and Alpaka Bouclé. Short rows are worked to shape the shoulders. The yoke is first worked flat and then, from the body downward, in the round. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up, and the sleeve caps are shaped using short rows. The piping details at the transitions from body and sleeves to the hems, as well as at the V-neckline, give the sweater a high-quality finish.
