» Crease (noun): a ridge or groove produced in anything by folding, heat, pressure, etc.; fold; furrow.

Crease is a raglan style sweater with a rounded neckline. Worked top down, it is first worked flat, then joined in the round when the neckline depth is reached.

The shoulders and top of the sleeves are worked in a ridge pattern which gradually transitions into a point on the middle of the sleeve around the elbow. The stitch pattern is echoed on the left side of the body, where decreases and increases for waist shaping are hidden cleverly on either side.
