Florina sweater is an oversized sweater worked in a textured pattern consisting of knit and purl stitches. It features dropped shoulders that give a loose and boxy shape.

The Florina Sweater is worked from the top down. First the back is worked back and forth, while the slant of the shoulders is shaped with short rows. Pick up and knit stitches along both shoulder seams and work the two shoulder sections separately. Join the shoulder sections by casting on new stitches at the center front and finish working the front section. Now join the front and back sections and work the remainder of the body in the round and finish with a ribbed edge.
