Quiet
Be still my beating heart. Stay silent, quiet.
Quiet is a seamless sweater worked top-down. The sweater has a round yoke and long sleeves. Quiet has plenty of positive ease at the bust but a cropped length with a fitted waist. The back of the neck is shaped higher and there’s an option to work a bust dart. The star of the sweater is the delicate ribbing detail at the hem. The sweater is worn with the purl side on top but do not worry: you’ll only ever need to purl at the cuffs and hem ribbing.
