Simple, yet structured for easy wear and a touch of drama. This seamless sweater features gathered sleeve details, drop saddle shoulders, balloon sleeves, tied waistband and a relaxed fit.

Knit with 4-ply yarn, the Gather Sleeve Sweater is worked from the top down with the back, shoulders and front all worked as one piece before separating for the bust and rejoining at the underarms. The remainder of the body is worked in the round, then the sleeves and neckband are individually picked up and worked in the round too.

Designed to be worn with 15-26 / 6-10” of positive ease, depending on your fit preference.
