Facette is a feminine sweater with an easy fit and delicate colorwork. The prominent features of the design are the sleeves and how the colorwork pattern is integrated into their shaping (forming facets). The deep raglan starts at the middle of the shoulder for a wide neck­line. The vertical accent lines are embroidered after the sweater is complete. The pattern has a few lovely, understated details, such as the i-cord finishing and the purl dots at the end of the colorwork motif.
