It is knitted seamlessly, beginning with a top-down saddle shoulder design.
The neckband is extended on the side, resembling a plate rather than being round. If you prefer a snugger fit for the neckband, consider using a smaller size of the needle.

It’s reversible.
When worn inside out, the purl stitch texture gives it a more casual and cute vibe.

The chest dart is crafted by using German short rows, resulting in a better fit when worn compared to when laid flat. It’s advisable to choose yarn or material that retains its shape well after washing and blocking.

Overall, it is a half-sleeved short sweater, the back is longer than the front.
The length of both the garment and the sleeves can be customized.
