With endless possibilities to be worn alone or layered, Julie takes a classic folded collar turtleneck and transforms it into something much more fun and quirky. A wide sweater with a fitted shoulder creates the perfect comfort sweater. Viewed from the side, the offset hem comes as a little surprise and offers a flattering length in the back without creating extra bulk in the front. The allover double seed stitch texture is soft and supple and allows the garment’s modern shape to take focus.
CONSTRUCTION
- Back, front and sleeve pieces are knit flat from the bottom up, then seamed together.
- The collar is knit in the round from live and picked up stitches around the neckline.
