The most stylish people make fashion seem effortless, like they threw it on as they walked out the door, but somehow it’s flattering and all looks great together. This sweater was designed to do just that: Be easy, elegant and cozy. The soft neutral will go with anything and the slight waist shaping will hug your curves. This sweater is worked bottom-up, with a collar that wraps around your shoulders to add structure. The cable is a gentle focal point to add some polish to a comfy, easy, layer. Sleeves are modified drop sleeves worked from picked up stitches with shoulder shaping via short rows. Sweater length and sleeve length are adjustable.
