In this sweater, the stripes are repeated exactly the same way from garment bottom to top. It’s the strategically-placed decreased in the yoke that cause the stripes to bend into rings that circle the neckline. The solid turtleneck draws further attention to the wearer’s face. Waist shaping adds a feminine touch, and short rows worked at the back of the neck refine the fit of this simple silhouette.
