This pretty, sleeveless sweater has a traditional Fair Isle flower motif on the yoke and is seamlessly knit from the top-down, so you can make sure it fits to your liking as you knit. The raglan construction creates a flattering boat-neck and an i-cord cast off adds interest to the neckline and sleeve edges.
