Sweater No. 9 is a heavy knit sweater with classic raglan sleeves and a high neck. A chunky and elegant style with lovely details. The sweater is cut for a comfy loose fit and shapes itself beautifully on all shapes and sizes.

The sweater can be made either in regular length or a short – almost cropped – version. As it’s knitted from top to down, you can try it on while knitting and choose the length that suits your body.
