OVERVIEW
Monet Sweater is named after inspiring Claude Monet’s art and aesthetic. It is knitted top-down and seamless, both flat and in the round, double-stranded. The back yoke is worked using German Short Rows and increases along the shoulder to bring up the back neckline which gives more structure to the sweater. The length of saddle shoulders and the body is adjustable to fit your own body. The flowy, slouchy sleeves style creates a feminine look.
