Solar-T is the summer sweater of your dreams: it is seamless, but structured, a loose-fitting slightly boxy top with phenomenal drape. Not only is it an easy-breezy project, but it will become a staple in your summer wardrobe, a top that you’ll reach for again and again.

This sweet lightweight sweater is knit from the bottom up, in two halves. The drop shoulders are shaped with a lace saddle, resulting in soft fluttering sleeves.

To finish things off, the side seams are “zipped up” with panels worked perpendicular to the sweater body. These help this otherwise drapey sweater maintain its shape.
The delicate hand of this sweater is achieved thanks to the beautifully soft fingering-weight silk/linen blend.
